Well, I don't know about that... some of the error messages are a bit
uninformative ("SyntaxError: invalid syntax", although it may be
difficult to do much about that one). But potential improvements
should be taken on a case-by-case basis.

Do you mean the exception types? Yes, changing the exception types would
break a lot of code. But changing the error messages shouldn't break
anything, since the error messages are not part of the function API.
They've changed before, and they will change again.
