--- | 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".
