The Library Exceptions documentation describes RuntimeException as "mostly
a relic from a previous version of the interpreter; it is not used very
much any more." Yet, the Reference in describing the raise statement uses
RuntimeException as an example:

raise RuntimeError("foo occurred").with_traceback(tracebackobj)

This seems slightly misleading. It might be better to just use Exception
as the example there.
