I guess I'm unclear on the goal. Looking at the built-in Python 
exceptions, they have a __repr__, but __str__ returns an empty 
string:

>>> e = IndexError()
>>> repr(e)
'<exceptions.IndexError instance at 0x07016AF8>'
>>> str(e)
''

CLR exceptions currently have the same behavior:

>>> e = CLR.System.NullReferenceException()
>>> repr(e)
'<CLR.System.NullReferenceException object at 0x070158B0>'
>>> str(e)
''

I'm happy to add things to make life easier for folks -- I just 
don't understand what you're asking for yet :) What would you 
want/expect to get from str(e) on a CLR exception?
