[Python-Dev] Re: PEP 654 -- Exception Groups and except* : request for feedback for SC submission

While I don't particularly mind if we get ExceptionGroup, giving it special magical semantics, and especially new syntax, seems like bringing a massively overpowered weapon to bear on something that will only be used rarely.

Handling multiple exceptions from an ExceptionGroup could be done using a loop with pattern matching, so is except* really justified?
