Depends on what exceptions finally are. But the standard entries like
_message are not supposed to get anything different then a string for
that.

 PythonException will need to be able
 to hold an arbitrary python object.

Attach it as a property (s. setprop/getprop).

PythonException will need to be able
to hold an arbitrary python object. 
I'm faking it by stuffing my PMC into
a string register for now... But it 
would be REALLY nice to be able to use
the base ParrotException and not have
to write my own subclass just to get
a PMC slot. 

Would it be possible to get a ['_pmc']
or something in addition to ['_message']?
