Nice going! But ...

Could we extend the 'try' syntax for this instead of introducing 
'with'? If I look at the translation it an augmented 'try'.
	with EXPR as VAR:
		BLOCK1
	except EXCEPTION:
		BLOCK2
could then be translated to
	abc = EXPR
	exc = (None, None, None)
	VAR = abc.__enter__()
	try:
		try:
			BLOCK1
		except EXCEPTION:
			BLOCK2
		except:
			exc = sys.exc_info()
			raise
	finally:
		abc.__exit__(*exc)

Can the 'throw()' method be renamed 'raise()'? IMHO that makes much 
clearer what happens.

Same thing with 'GeneratorExit', 'StopGeneration' more closely matches 
'StopIteration'.
