 -- This module provides support for raising and catching both built-in
 -- and user-defined exceptions.
 --
+-- In addition to exceptions thrown by 'IO' operations, exceptions may
+-- be thrown by pure code (imprecise exceptions) or by external events
+-- (asynchronous exceptions), but may only be caught in the 'IO' monad.
+-- For more details, see:
