To handle IOError, which method should I use?
I came across a function that, according to its documentation, can throw IOError. I want to handle this.
It looks like there are multiple ways of doing it. Control.Exception is one. System.IO.Error is another.
- Are there other ways?
- Which way do you recommend I use and why? Or what are the pros and cons of each?

type IOError = IOException
so both finish in Control.Exception.Base, ie catch. System.IO.Error is just a specialization package, to help you deal with those exceptions that are IO.
