Summary: 6.9 First sentence is confusing

Initial Comment:
The first sentence of section 6.9 "The raise statement"
in Python Reference Manual is confusing:

"If no expressions are present, raise re-raises the
last ***expression*** that was active in the current
scope."

I guess the author means "the last ***exception*** that
was active in the current scope". This corresponds to
the behavior of Python and also to following sentence
in the manual:

"If no ***exception*** is active in the current scope,
an exception is raised indicating this error."

Therefore, should we replace "expression" by
"exception" in the first sentence?
