Haskell 98 (Library) Report: contradiction about fail :: String -> IO a

[Marcin 'Qrczak' Kowalczyk]

The Haskell 98 Report says that fail in instance Monad IO invokes error.
The Library Report says that fail in instance Monad IO raises a user error.

I would let it raise a user error, to be able to use fail in exception
monads where strings suffice as the error type.
