Sounds good to me, but if & only if it's a subclass of OSError (why?
because nothing else makes sense <wink>).  I added UnboundLocalError as a
subclass of NameError (in the CVS tree), so you can mimic what that did.
IIRC, for the benefit of the old "string-based exceptions" option hack,
UnboundLocalError reverts to NameError if class-based exceptions are
disabled ...
