What would happen if Exception were made a new-style class, enforce
inheritance from Exception for all new-style exceptions, and allow all
old-style exceptions as before. Am I wrong in assuming that only the
most esoteric exceptions inheriting from Exception would break by
Exception becoming new-style?
