    state.

    exceptions, for the case where further exceptions are raised while
    responding to a first exception.

  * Use a larger `pypgev' structure to track the state of a Python event
    handler through the framework.  This structure holds a reference to
    the Python object itself, and a slot for recording an exception.

  * When a Python handler fails, stash the exception state in the slot
    provided by the `pypgev' structure if there isn't one already, and
    clear the pending exception.  If there is already an exception in
    the slot, then report the new exception through the hook described
    above.

  * Once a `pgen' operation completes, if it raised any exceptions at
    all, then the first of these is left in the exception slot.  If it
    fails otherwise, then we supply a generic exception.

    a new kind of object.

    variable-length tag and everything.  Other constructions, e.g.,
    TupleHash, can easily be made in the same way.

objects, and, in particular, which `__new__' methods are OK to use.  It
