I vote #2, because `except *(e1, e2) as e:` could imply that this is splatting an arbitrary expression there - it looks like it will match any number of dynamically chosen exception types.

But it only looks like splatting because you changed it from `(E1, E2)` to `(e1, e2)` where Title Case names will look like a matched type and lower case names will look like destination names. So, given these will be class names and 99.9% Title Case, Option 1 does not really fail under your suggested confusion here.
