Joe: I understand your point but my concern is that this creates an impression 
for the users that Python is tolerant of failing __repr__'s, while that's not 
the case at all.

I agree that if StackSummary was only used for interactive debugging, there 
would be a stronger case for it to nicely handle failed __repr__; but I think 
the more important use for it is non-interactive.

The argument on the other issue was that exceptions should bubble up and we 
can't assume that user wants them silenced, that's the decision for user to 
make. I agree with that; -- and your proposed change does not address it.
