Found it.
Raymond apparently instigated the thread: 
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2003-January/032492.html
And it continued into the next month: 
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2003-February/032864.html
And you even contributed to the discussion, Greg =) :

But the original terminology was "exception masking" so that may have 
been why this didn't ring any bells.
For the impatient you can read the last 3 emails I think (especially the 
absolute last which was authored by Raymond) to get a summary of the 
ideas proposed.
