If several things go wrong you could easily end up with a nested EG. Same in Trio -- you could have multiple nested "nurseries". If you're catching such exceptions it may not be so important to be aware of the nesting, but if you're logging tracebacks (or if the exception is never caught and the program exits with a traceback) it is pretty important to be able to show everything that went wrong without unnecessary duplication of stack traces. -- --Guido van Rossum (python.org/~guido) *Pronouns: he/him **(why is my pronoun here?)* <http://feministing.com/2015/02/03/how-using-they-as-a-singular-pronoun-can-change-the-world/>
