what about
except with : a program dies "with" an error message, not "as" an error message. No. The exception object you're catching is the value, not something which has a value. I maintain that "as" is the correct word to use here.
Besides which, 'with' is a (new) main (compound statement) keyword while 'as' is always subordinate and denoting a name to be used in the sequel. And I also like using it to separate classes to be caught from name binding of instance.
