+   Specific exceptions raised in assorted error cases (and even whether some
+   arguments are considered to be exceptional at all) are not defined in any
+   useful cross-platform or cross-release way.  For example, whether
+   \code{math.log(0)} returns \code{-Inf} or raises \exception{ValueError} or
+   \exception{OverflowError} is both platform- and release-dependent, and in
+   cases where \code{math.log(0)} raises an \exception{OverflowError},
+   \code{math.log(0L)} often raises a \exception{ValueError}.
