First, and most dramatic, involves what is legal to list in an 'except' clause. Right now you can listing *anything*. This means ``except 42`` is totally legal even though raising a number is not. Since I am deprecating catching string exceptions, I can go ahead and deprecate catching *any* object that is not a legitimate object to be raised.
The second thing is changing PyErr_GivenExceptionMatches() to return 0 on false, 1 on true, and -1 on error. As of right now there is no defined error return value. While it could be suggested to check PyErr_Occurred() after every call, there is a way to have the return value reflect all possible so I think this changed should be made.
Anybody have objections with any of the changes I am proposing?
