Sorry, I don't understand that comment. What do you mean, "wrap"?
Unpacking a generator with too many values raises ValueError:
py> a, b = (x for x in range(3))
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ValueError: too many values to unpack (expected 2)

Why does that matter, and how does that relate to the specific code
sample given?
Given the line of code `x, y = result`, the only possible way ValueError
could be raised is if `result` has the wrong number of items when
unpacking. So what benefit does ValueUnpackingError bring to this
example?
