I really like the idea of using a `with` clause for simplify exception
chaining.  I am concerned I would be missing some of the locals
available at exception time, which the `with` clause would not have
access to, but more introspection may solve that too.  It does not solve
the indent problem, but I could live with that if it made the code
simpler in other ways.

Many of my exception handlers are multiline, and I do not think the
`with` clause strategy would work there.
