Re: Error in documentation for Control.Exception (base-4.*)

This was caught by mbuf on #haskell: the example for the Exception class in Control.Exception as of base-4 needs some extra escaping for Haddock markup. It currently has:

@ *Main> throw ThisException `catch` \e -> putStrLn (\"Caught \" ++ show (e :: MyException)) Caught ThisException @

It should be (untested; I'm not sure of the backticks but I think it'll work):

@ *Main> throw ThisException \`catch\` \\e -> putStrLn (\"Caught \" ++ show (e :: MyException)) Caught ThisException @

You should also escape the >. At least on older Haddock it was required, not sure about newer Haddock (though it doesn't complain). -- Live well, ~wren
