try:
raise Exception()

pass
def fn2():
while True:
try:
raise Exception()
finally:

This *was* a documented feature until very recently; it looks as though a
recent doc change inadvertently removed it from the documentation. See
http://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/bef098bd3fa5
and the associated issue, issue 14167.

It looks to me that it was not removed from the doc but explicitly changed to
say that 'break' does not cause the exception to be discarded, unless I'm
misunderstanding it:
1.20 +:keyword:`finally` clause is executed. If there is a saved exception
1.21
Mark Dickinson added the comment:
Hmm. Yes, true. Either way, it's the docs that need to be fixed rather than
the behaviour.
Thanks for catching this!
