[issue45292] Implement PEP 654: Exception Groups

[Irit Katriel]

Irit Katriel <iritkatriel at gmail.com> added the comment:

The second opcode that the PR adds is PREP_RERAISE_STAR.

This opcode takes a list that contains:
1. all the exceptions that were raised in the executed except* clauses
2. the unmatched part of the exception group

It constructs the exception group that needs to be raised at the end.  This is done through a fairly complex operation on the BaseExceptionGroup, which merges the re-raised exceptions into the same nesting structure they had in the original exception group, so that

try:
   raise eg
except* ValueError:
   raise
except* TypeError:
   raise

is equivalent to just 'raise eg'.


Is there any overlap with existing opcodes?
