Ah! I see. We touched on this syntax on -ideas, but at the time, the proposed syntax didn't have parens around the outside. Either location will solve most of the same problems (like precedence/associativity versus multiple except clauses), but shrinking down to just the exception list and default value makes it look very different. It looks like what's inside should be an expression, which it isn't. What's the advantage of this form? What's its key advantage over the parens-around-the-whole-thing form?
