Absolutely.  If string-based standard exceptions are removed for 1.6,
we need a fool-proof way of getting exceptions.py.  Remember, my first
attempt at this stuff made that Python code a BACS[*] that got
exec'd.  I'm sure there are better ways of doing that now, and I think
exceptions.py has settled down enough to warrant cooling it for 1.6.
