 Print a standard traceback to ``sys.stderr`` and clear the error indicator.
 Call this function only when the error indicator is set. (Otherwise it will
 cause a fatal error!)
 
+ If *set_sys_last_vars* is nonzero, the variables :data:`sys.last_type`,
+ :data:`sys.last_value` and :data:`sys.last_traceback` will be set to the
+ type, value and traceback of the printed exception, respectively.
