Maybe we can accept old-style classes and instances, strings, and instances of Exception and its subclasses.
Seems to me the point at which we start allowing new-style classes as exceptions should also be the point at which we drop the idea of string exceptions. Would that help?
I don't really think that "raise 42" ought to be acceptable, but I don't know how to prevent it
Maybe we need to think more deeply about why it shouldn't be acceptable. If we can figure out exactly what the criterion should be, maybe we can think of a reasonable way of testing for it.
