[issue3021] Lexical exception handlers

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr> added the comment:

Ok, it makes sense to have the same behaviour for except and finally
blocks then. As for the syntax error, I'm still not convinced. The point
of Py3k is to change semantics: people should expect some incompatible
changes. Also the previous behaviour was rather under-specified, so it
could be considered a bug. And it seems to me syntax errors should be
used to guard against potential syntax mistakes, not semantic subtleties.
