There is a long term caveat to the overall approach: It still leaves the exception details being OpenSSL specific. If someone wants to ditch OpenSSL and use something else such as NSS (for example) in a future ssl implementation what would its exception error info story look like?
That's a general issue with the ssl module. Unless we come up with our own API and abstraction layer (which has a cost in design effort and risks), we're following the OpenSSL architecture (e.g. the SSLContext idea).
