Thank you for the offer, but I don't think I'm in a position to take over maintainership of another library. However, I think that my original suggestion of moving all of the exception-handling functions into the type class itself would solve the current issue; is there a reason not to do so? I'm still not sure what to do about ContT.
As I posted some time ago, the scheme community has long know that genuine unwind-protect (i.e. bracket) is impossible in the presence of call/CC. I suggest that the instance simply be removed from the catchIO libraries to avoid confusion, and that the reason for its omission be documented. Cheers, Sterl.
