Kotlin is not happy today... Is this a bug?

I don’t believe this is a bug, because `IOException` is traditionally thrown with failed blocking IO requests, the linter produces this warning. Because it is simply a warning, you are welcome to ignore assuming you know the risks of such a call, which I believe that in this case, there aren’t any real risks of blocking the current thread as `doStuff` should be executed in a different coroutine on a different thread (at least in theory a different thread)

<https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KTIJ-15788>
it's known that the current heuristic is pretty weak, but that's how it works

Ok so the IDE assumes *doStuff* is a blocking function because it can throw `IOException` and shows the warning. So if I wrap it with try catch it should go away?

won't work, it's still something "blocking" inside your suspend function whether it's wrapped or not

I'm concerned I'm doing something wrong, or blocking the coroutine.
```val json = String(e.response()?.errorBody()?.source()?.readByteArray() ?: byteArrayOf(), StandardCharsets.UTF_8)```
*readByteArray* here shows the same warning. yep it throws IOException
This line is the catching of HttpException from suspend retrofit call. I need to get the response body even if I don't get a 200 OK.
