Oops, reworded the second part of that sentence without fixing the
first part. It should have said:

==============
It doesn't make sense to prefer the status quo because you're holding
out a forlorn hope for
a concise wording that explains:

- there are places where exceptions may occur but the interpreter
can't reraise them
- this is one of those cases, so we're printing it to stderr instead

*without users needing to do any research*.
==============

Nick.
