Exception magnitude

[wfatherley]

exceptlib might not be the correct repository for this feature, but consider:

try:
    ...
except ThisException >= ThatException:
    ...

The basic idea is that some programs might have a characteristic range of exceptions, and these exceptions might have some essential order or maybe some sort of compactness that, at certain layers, necessitates exception handling by comparison.

Yes, I like this more now. Log levels for example can be used to dictate whether a message emits or not. In the same way, exceptions should have order comparisons. The syntax change that permits except to handle this comparison is somewhat foreign but has logical intuition.
