It is possible to define a new Exception class which inherits from both RuntimeError and IOError, and raise that.  Then document IOError, with a footnote mentioning that in 2.x it is also a RuntimeError for backwards compatibility.  

clientcookie does something similar; LoadError is derived from IOError only for backwards compatibility.
