[docs] [issue21864] Error in documentation of point 9.8 'Exceptions are classes too'

[Josh Rosenberg]

Josh Rosenberg added the comment:

I think the section could use some additional rewording actually. The wording about deriving from type dates back to the Python 2 days; nowadays, all exceptions are actually required to derive from BaseException. The section definitely needs rewording.
