Description
I ran into an issue today where a library (`HTTP`) was using `Either` but could _also_ produce an exception. I ended up writing this, though something that ends up in `EItherT` might also be reasonable:
```
tryIO' :: (IOError -> e) -> IO (Either e b) -> IO (Either e b)
tryIO' mapErr io = eitherT (return . Left . mapErr) return (tryIO io)
```

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing tryIO and eitherT entry points mentioned in the issue, then determine where a tryIO' helper belongs. Done means exceptions from the IO action are mapped with the supplied function into Left, while existing Either values remain unchanged.
