[issue30384] traceback.TracebackException.format shouldn't format_exc_only() when __traceback__ is None

I had no intention to insult you and apologize if I did. I assumed that you forgot about this issue since you didn't chase it for 3 years, but you are right that I should have asked. 

I am reopening it so that you can explain the question. Since you didn't get a response so far, I'm probably not the only one who needs that. 

What do you mean by "completely hide an exception", and why do you think that setting __traceback__ to None should achieve that?
