Okay, I've done some reading about Exception vs BaseException and
I think I see now why you would want to catch the former but not
the latter.
Catching IOError specifically doesn't seem too useful here,
though, because it would still result in an Error being raised
and the program ultimately exiting. Or am I missing something?
