I realize it's major work to add recovery features to the CPython interpreter, so I don't think CPython will have anything like it soon and therefore also Python-the-language will not. Instead, my reason for mentioning this is to get the _concept_ of recoveries across. I think including (hypothetical, for now) recovery features in a discussion about exceptions is valuable, because that influences whether one thinks a label like "critical" for an exception is appropriate.
Heh, I talked about this at EuroPython... http://starship.python.net/crew/mwh/recexc.pdf The technical barriers are insignificant, really.
