Therefore my vote is for requiring `except* E` and keeping
`except *E` as a SyntaxError.
You can't do that with our current lexer+parser.
Then what is the purpose of this thread? I understood from the OP that
the question was which to allow and which to prohibit. If it's
impossible to require either or prohibit either because the lexer/parser
can't tell the difference, then it's going to end up as a never-ending
style argument just like C pointers, so what are we even discussing?
(Other than an entirely different syntax, of course, which now seems
like the logical way to go if we can't enforce a single way to do it
with the original proposal.)
The key phrase is """in any case we need to settle on a convention that
we use in documentation, etc.""".
