I believe the answer is that Exceptions not derived from Exception
shouldn't be thrown; it's basically a deprecated feature and has been for
a long time. I've never seen it happen. Add another "except" clause and
use it to bitch at the user for throwing something that isn't an Exception
:-) You won't find any other code that throws anything but an exception,
unless either you or your user wrote it.
