That's not quite true: PEP 3017 describes a mechanism for annotating
function parameters *and return values*, and my point was why it does
not provide a mechanism for annotating thrown exceptions, since I see
info on thrown exceptions in the same category as info on return values.
I would agree... but...
The problem is that code that uses a function hardly cares whether an
exception that replaces the normal return is raised explicitly, by a
syntax operation (and these are not yet completely documented, though
perhaps they should be), or by a function called within the function.
