And move it after 'class' and 'instance' in the printout, to subtly
make it the last choice, not the first.

ie.

"exceptions must be classes or instances.\n(or strings, which are

or

"exceptions must be classes or instances. (strings are deprecated)."

or

"exceptions must be classes, instances, or (deprecated) strings."
