Is there any reason not to make <https://github.com/ktorio/ktor/blob/1bd92eaa4974dc0b09757c635895ce0e38474a95/ktor-client/ktor-client-ios/darwin/src/io/ktor/client/engine/ios/IosUtils.kt#L52|IosHttpRequestException> an <https://github.com/ktorio/ktor/blob/1bd92eaa4974dc0b09757c635895ce0e38474a95/ktor-io/common/src/io/ktor/utils/io/errors/Errors.kt#L5|IOException> ? It would be nice to make it so and also document (make the api contract) that `HttpClient.request` will throw `IOException` for IO errors… ?

I was just about to ask the same question. It also does not work, if the api is defined in a common module, without access to `IosHttpRequestException`.
