Maybe bare 'except' should be spelled 'except *'.

I don't think it can be removed altogether because sometimes you just
need to be able to do magic, but it can be made a little more explicit.

With the asterisk, it's greppable, and editors can find it or highlight
it.  I like the parallel to 'import *' (frowned upon, but sometimes
useful if you really know what you are doing).
