Replaced throw to throwIO where type is IO

Maybe it isn't.

However the documentation of throwIO states that it should be used in
preference of throw because it guarantees ordering with respect to
other IO actions:

http://haskell.org/ghc/docs/6.12.1/html/libraries/base-4.2.0.0/Control-Exception.html#v:throwIO

Now the question is does it matter whether we use throw or throwIO in
(for example):

catchJust
        :: Exception e
        => (e -> Maybe b)         -- ^ Predicate to select exceptions
        -> IO a                   -- ^ Computation to run
        -> (b -> IO a)            -- ^ Handler
        -> IO a
catchJust p a handler = catch a handler'
  where handler' e = case p e of
                        Nothing -> throwIO e
                        Just b  -> handler b

Maybe I'm missing something obvious. In that case, sorry for the noise.
