Interesting, I commented on that issue - I think we may be able to solve it
without adding more trees.
That said, we will have groups-of-trees/trees-of-groups. Already today, an
exception plus its chained __cause__s and __context__s is the root of a
binary tree of exceptions. The nodes of this tree represent the times that
the exceptions were caught.
An exception group is a tree where the nodes represent the times when
exceptions were grouped together and raised.
