Oops.  This should have been:

    finally:
       if not stmt_exit(*exc):
          raise exc[0], exc[1], exc[2]

This would mean that if a function returned None (or any other "False"
object) the exception would be reraised.  Suppressing the reraising of
the exception would require returning a nonzero object.
