[New-bugs-announce] [issue14306] try/except block is both efficient and expensive?

[Tshepang Lekhonkhobe]

New submission from Tshepang Lekhonkhobe <tshepang at gmail.com>:

In Doc/faq/design.rst, we got this text:

"A try/except block is extremely efficient. Actually catching an exception is expensive."

The 2 sentences appear contradictory.
