 for several reasons.
 
 * First and foremost, consistency with the statement form of try/except
-would be broken. Just as a list comprehension or ternary if expression
-can be explained by "breaking it out" into its vertical statement form,
-an expression-except should be able to be explained by a relatively
-mechanical translation into a near-equivalent statement. Any form of
-syntax common to both should therefore have the same semantics in each,
-and above all should not have the subtle difference of catching more in
-one than the other, as it will tend to attract unnoticed bugs.

 * Secondly, the set of appropriate exceptions to catch would itself be

 * And finally (this partly because the recommendation was that a bare
-except should be actively encouraged, once it was reduced to a "reasonable"
-set of exceptions), any situation where you catch an exception you don't
-expect to catch is an unnecessary bug magnet.

 Consequently, the use of a bare 'except' is down to two possibilities:
 either it is syntactically forbidden in the expression form, or it is
