-catchException used to handle the passing around of the state to the
-action and the handler. This turned out to be a bad idea - it meant
-that we had to wrap both arguments in thunks so they could be entered
-as normal (remember IO returns an unboxed pair...).
-
-Now catch# has type
-
- catch# :: IO a -> (b -> IO a) -> IO a
-
-(well almost; the compiler doesn't know about the IO newtype so we
-have to work around that in the definition of catchException below).

-\begin{code}
-catchException :: IO a -> (Exception -> IO a) -> IO a
-catchException (IO m) k = IO $ \s -> catch# m (\ex -> unIO (k ex)) s

--- | The 'catch' function establishes a handler that receives any 'IOError'
--- raised in the action protected by 'catch'. An 'IOError' is caught by
--- the most recent handler established by 'catch'. These handlers are
--- not selective: all 'IOError's are caught. Exception propagation
--- must be explicitly provided in a handler by re-raising any unwanted
--- exceptions. For example, in
---
--- > f = catch g (\e -> if IO.isEOFError e then return [] else ioError e)
---
--- the function @f@ returns @[]@ when an end-of-file exception
--- (cf. 'System.IO.Error.isEOFError') occurs in @g@; otherwise, the
--- exception is propagated to the next outer handler.
---
--- When an exception propagates outside the main program, the Haskell
--- system prints the associated 'IOError' value and exits the program.
---
--- Non-I\/O exceptions are not caught by this variant; to catch all
--- exceptions, use 'Control.Exception.catch' from "Control.Exception".
