Great!  Patch is uploaded at http://bugs.python.org/issue1537

The patch changes the definition of GeneratorExit so that it extends 
BaseException, adds a generator test, updates exception_hierarchy.txt, and 
updates the exceptions page in the documentation.  This is my first patch to 
Python -- did I miss anything?
