Here is a more extensive rewrite that I think makes things clearer and (I hope) makes the text read better. I also updated the preceding section per the confusion expressed in issue 8518. Note that this patch is somewhat Python3 specific, since it assumes that all non-BaseException exceptions inherit from Exception. If someone wants to backport it to 2.7 a paragraph or footnote should be added about that problem. Opinions welcome.
