Shall we do an e.index for IndexErrors as well?

I don't recall stumbling over that need, but the parallel makes it tempting. I expect is should be a separate patch, though.

Antoine's right about using keyword args from C, though. I'd expect a new helper function that handles this specific case, since it's likely to be common. Whether it used a keyword are or just performed a setattr after the exception is created doesn't really matter.
