While we're at weird exception stuff... while aping bits of the
exception handling code for pypy, I noticed that this should "work",
and indeed it does:

>>> raise ((((Exception,), 'anything'), 'can', 'go'), 'in here'), 'arg'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
Exception: arg

Any takers for an explanation?

Cheers,
