[issue33146] contextlib.suppress should capture exception for inspection and filter on substrings

I'm not sure that contextlib.suppress() should be added at first place.

    try:
        os.remove(somefile)
    except FileNotFoundError:
        pass

is a tiny bit longer, but is more explicit, doesn't depend on the other module, works in all Python versions that have this exception, and is easily extensible.

    try:
        os.remove(somefile)
    except FileNotFoundError as e:
        # what do you want to do with e?
        pass
