If you're drawing a distinction between the first time an exception
hits the eval loop and the second and subsequent times, then neither
"Unraisable" nor "Unreraisable" is 100% correct. I just think it's a
meaningless distinction, which is why I favour "Unraisable" - at the
point in time where that message is displayed, that exception cannot
be raised any further, whether it was created directly from C or was
received from an underlying call back into Python code..

Cheers,
Nick.
