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.

(that could be a useful feature actually (so maybe the * syntax should be reserved??), but that's another discussion)
