Haha, let's see if we can write a Mersienne twister all inside an except 
statement 👨🏻‍🔬

Joking aside, since we allow any expression after 'except' 'group' then this is 
indeed ambiguous. In theory! In practice, however, PEG is satisfied with the 
first rule that matches entirely, so this is a matter of choosing correct 
precedence. In this case, it seems it would make sense for "old-style" except 
to come first because your (convoluted! 🤠) example is potentially useful, 
whereas "except +TimeoutError:" is pure nonsense.

I will prototype a PR for this just so we can play with it.
