This is veering into python-ideas territory (or even python-list), but the first big concern that comes to my mind is that there are a LOT of places where exceptions are raised, and many of those exceptions end up being used for perfectly-normal flow control. So this would potentially add even more overhead to the raising of exceptions - basically, you have to retain state as if you're suspending a generator. But it'd be an extremely cool concept. Exceptions already snapshot all their locals, and this would just expand on that a bit.
