> And what if the exception is raised from a subroutine?

Well, if I have it surrounded by a try/except block, presumably I'm aware that 
an exception could be raised.  ;)

And if I'm aware that an exception could be raised, it may also be possible 
that I want to change the exception -- leading to the three possibilities I 
described earlier.  

Looking through my dbf module, most of those re-raises I'll be changing to use 
the raise ... from ... syntax, but there are still a couple places where it 
makes no sense to have the extra nested information available.
