It does read nicely, and is fine for the single, non-nested, case (which is probably the vast majority), but how would it handle nested exceptions?

Hmmm, probably not very well, unless we define

   a except b if E1 except c if E2

to mean

   a except (b except c if E2) if E1

If E1 == E2, that could perhaps be abbreviated to

   a except b except c if E

Or we could just decide that the nested case is going
to be so rare it's not worth worrying about.
