You can always wrap the object you want to return in a suitable
subclass of Exception. I would prefer to write it that way anyway,
otherwise I'd need some sort of "catch anything which *isn't* a
subclass of Exception" statement, which is rather awkward to spell.

If this is considered a common enough requirement, a special built-in
Exception subclass could even be provided for it, to save people the
bother of defining their own...
