We shouldn't forget that basically all Python operations can at least raise a MemoryError or a KeyboardInterrupt etc. Most users won't think of these cases. I think it would help users in writing safer code if the need to handle exceptions in nogil blocks was always made explicit by the compiler.
Oh, and another nice thing to add here: A bare "except" clause can actually raise an exception if extracting/instantiating the exception fails. So there's really no way for user code to catch all exceptions and there will always be unraisable exceptions in code that is technically incapable of propagating them.
