Or PEP 288? That has throw() (albeit with a different signature). I
could do without the attributes though (PEP 342 provides a much better
solution IMO).

If either of those PEP authors feels like updating their PEP, they
have my blessings! I probably won't get to writing my own for a few
more days.
