I just realized that there's a bug in the with-statement as currently checked in. exit is supposed to re-raise the exception if there was one; if it returns normally, the finally clause is NOT to re-raise it. The fix is relatively simple (I believe) but requires updating lots of unit tests. It'll be a while.

Hmm. My understanding was that exit was not to reraise it, but was simply given the opportunity to record the exception-in-progress.
