-----------------------------+----------------------------------------------
There is a bug in the documentation of Control.Exception.catch
[http://haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/libraries/base/Control-
Exception.html#4]
If one uses System.IO.openFile then the example code shown in the
documentation
does not typecheck.
The example code is:
{{{
catch (openFile f ReadMode)
(\e -> hPutStr stderr ("Couldn't open "++f++": " ++ show e))
}}}
