 I found the following 2 errors in the documentation of
 [http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/base/latest/doc/html/Control-
 Exception-Base.html Control.Exception.Base]

 == catch ==

 From the documentation for the
 [http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/base/latest/doc/html/Control-
 Exception-Base.html#v:catch catch] function:

 ''... see the previous section "Catching all exceptions"''

 There is no such section!

 == mask ==

 From the documentation for the
 [http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/base/latest/doc/html/Control-
 Exception-Base.html#v:mask mask] function:

 ''... the only way is to create a new thread; see
 Control.Concurrent.forkIOUnmasked.''

 But [http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/base/latest/doc/html
 /Control-Concurrent.html#v:forkIOUnmasked forkIOUnmasked] is deprecated!
