How will this affect the __exit__ signature for context managers, which is 
defined in sys.exc_info() terms?  Also, WSGI defines certain 
exception-handling parameters in terms of sys.exc_info().

In fact, many APIs define things in terms of sys.exc_info() tuples.  That 
doesn't mean they have to come from sys.exc_info(), of course, but these 
APIs are defined that way based on a standard feature of the langauge.  So, 
documenting them may be more awkward.

Will we also be dropping three-argument "raise"?
