Strongly dislike the current interface, in particular the fact that I hav=
e to=20
scrutinize import lists to determine which catch/try I'm using, or always=
 use=20
fully-qualified versions.  Having a type distinction is far preferable.  =
I=20
also like the way Ross' proposal moves more things into Haskell98.IO.
