It seems like, for this to work, "group" would have to become a
keyword. This would play havoc with a lot of existing code. I can't
tell you how many times I've used the identifier "group" in my code,
particularly when dealing with regular expressions.
Even making it a soft keyword, a la "await" in 3.5, would lead to
ambiguity:
group = KeyboardInterrupt
try:
while True:
print("thou can only defeat me with Ctrl-C")
except group as error:
print("lo, thou hast defeated me")
//arry/

What do the PEP authors think about `except group`? Bikeshedding aside, that’s
still the best alternative I’ve seen. It’s unambiguous, self-descriptive, and
can’t be confused with unpacking syntax.

I agree that *(E1, E2) looks like unpacking, how about
except *E1 as error: ...
except (*E1, *E2) as error: ...
even better would be if we could drop the braces:
except *E1, *E2 as error: ...
