One thing I assumed was that _if_ bare excepts were kept, they would still
only be allowed as the last except clause.
That is, this example:

would still be a syntax error, even if bare excepts were allowed.
I still have some qualms about the idea of a bare except that doesn't catch
everything (I'd prefer to see them gone altogether), but I don't mind quite as
much if the above code stays as a syntax error.
Cheers,
Nick.
