Because it's a pain when you have an error in your error handler, and are
thus unable to debug the original. (pdb isn't always an option, either;
see later below)

Only in cases like this:
def __getattr__(self,attr):
try:
return self.__extras[attr]
except KeyError:
raise AttributeError
And in that particular case it's only adding a 1-line traceback. I haven't
thought of any more complex examples yet.

This only helps if you can get to a debugger. What if you're reading your
web server's error log?
