I'd also include EnvironmentError.

I wouldn't include TypeError -- that's much more likely
to indicate a bug.

But this list is getting rather long, which makes me
think it's not such a good idea to have a default
exception list after all.

(BTW, why doesn't ArithmeticError inherit from ValueError?)
