[New-bugs-announce] [issue1537] Change GeneratorExit's base class from Exception to BaseException

[Chad Austin]

New submission from Chad Austin:

Per discussion at http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2007-
December/075498.html, this patch changes GeneratorExit's base class 
from Exception to BaseException.

I updated the tests and documentation, but I may have missed any other 
discussion of GeneratorExit in the documentation.  Happy to update the 
patch if there is any feedback.
