Summary: 6.9 The raise statement is confusing
Initial Comment:
The description supplied for "6.9 The raise statement"
is confusing. In particular, it starts by explaining
the intent of each "expresssion" and midway switches
to "object" instead of expression. In particular, I
can't make heads or tails out of the following passage:
"If the first object is a string, it then raises the
exception identified by the first object, with the
second one (or None) as its parameter. If the first
object is a class or instance, it raises the exception
identified by the class of the instance determined in
the previous step, with the instance as its parameter."
