Summary: frame.f_exc_type,value,traceback

Initial Comment:
The frame object attributes f_exc_type, f_exc_value, f_exc_traceback are misdocumented.  They are not the last exception caught by the frame, nor the one currently handled, or anything reasonable like that.

They give the last exception raised in the parent frame, and only if another exception was ever raised in the current frame (in all other cases they are None).

I very much doubt this is useful to anyone, so maybe un-publishing the attributes would be sensible, but in any case the doc needs a small fix (ref/types.html and the doc about and in inspect.py).
