a name for the ExceptHandler.type when it is a literal tuple of types
That's this bit: ``` except (A, B): ^^^^^^ ``` bpo-43149 currently calls it an "exception group", but that conflicts with PEP 654 -- Exception Groups and except* ```
some alternatives:
exception classinfo must be parenthesized (classinfo so named from the parameter to issubclass)
exception sequence must be parenthesized
