Preserving the argument number seems difficult without exception chaining; perhaps a middle group would be to only replace TypeError exceptions. Walter's comment at 2003-01-30 06:29 shows this can still be fooled, but a fix for 90% of the cases is still better than a fix for 0% of them. The patch looks OK, but I think it should be reworked to take the middle-ground approach, replacing only TypeErrors.
