Hello Joel,

just enclose potentially problematic "do ..." in parentheses:

JR> liftIOTrap io =
JR>      do mx <- liftIO (do x <- io
JR>                          return (return x)

can be written as

do mx <- liftIO ((do x <- io
                    return (return x))

and after that you can put `catchError` to any position in the line
