It does read nicely, and is fine for the single, non-nested, case (which is probably the vast majority), but how would it handle nested exceptions?
Hmmm, probably not very well, unless we define a except b if E1 except c if E2 to mean a except (b except c if E2) if E1 If E1 == E2, that could perhaps be abbreviated to a except b except c if E Or we could just decide that the nested case is going to be so rare it's not worth worrying about. -- Greg
