Sounds good in principle - but don't forget that normally the exception will be instantiated and *then* passed to the raise statement.
I've never seen a module level exception instance before. With the proposed changes, modules that do this would *continue* to work, surely ? So they lose nothing (compared to the current situation) by having the traceback information overwritten, they just can't take direct advantage of the new attribute.
