Sure. I still prefer something like "Could not propagate exception
from:" or "Caller could not propagate exception from <repr>" that
better indicates we're suppressing it because it's infeasible to raise
it rather than just because we feel like it, but any of them would
offer a decent improvement over the status quo.

Cheers,
