Any exception at all is obviously the author's fault. I propose that
Python stops wasting our time with debugging information and tracebacks,
and on any error, simply prints the following message then dump core:
PEBKACError: Programmer is an idiot. You did something wrong, you moron,
turn your computer off, you're obviously too stupid to program.
That will certainly improve productivity.
