I noticed some minor errors in the documentation of Control.Exception. The attached patch fixes them.
I'm not sure about the bit of the patch below. David, Control/Exception.hs contains: -- ** Catching all exceptions -- $catchall [...] {- $catchall It is possible to catch all exceptions, by using the type 'SomeException': but the reference to $catchall in Control/Exception/Base.hs isn't working; in Control-Exception.html $catchall isn't expanded. Is that a bug, or expected behaviour? hunk ./Control/Exception/Base.hs 342 -- -- Note that we have to give a type signature to @e@, or the program -- will not typecheck as the type is ambiguous. While it is possible --- to catch exceptions of any type, see $catchall for an explanation --- of the problems with doing so. +-- to catch exceptions of any type, see the previous section \"Catching all +-- exceptions \" for an explanation of the problems with doing so. -- -- For catching exceptions in pure (non-'IO') expressions, see the -- function 'evaluate'.
