Those are asynchronous phenomena.
I'm not sure what you mean by that? It's a synchronous exception.
Sorry. I meant external. In the following sense: The semantics of the program explicitly involve it in a larger external system, in a way that it might make sense to allow exceptions to propagate out to the external system. With readline history, it is clear that we must handle all conditions internally, so this condition is not met. Since E1-3 are also not met, we should not throw IO exceptions. -Yitz
