Comment(by kini):

 Thank you, David! I agree with you, that would be great. Unfortunately it
 is not supported by Python. The documentation you linked about the `raise`
 statement is unfortunately not so helpful - there must be between 1 and 3
 arguments, and they have special meanings. Actually, the multiple-argument
 syntax for `raise` is there in order to provide backwards compatibility
 with old versions of Python in which Exceptions were not objects with
 constructors. Now we would do something like

 {{{raise HALError("I can't let you do that, Dave")}}}

 but before you would write

 {{{raise HALError, "I can't let you do that, Dave"}}}

 because the `HALError(foo)` syntax didn't exist. So the multiple arguments
 basically allows you to still use the old syntax. Unfortunately this
 doesn't mean that we can just raise multiple exceptions...
