Re:Python 3.11: “Zero cost” exception handling by dragonwriter on Wednesday October 06, 2021 @06:00PM (#28779042)
You do that with one thing, okay, maybe it works.

You do that with two or more of the protocols that Python has that use return values for return values ans exceptions for flow control signals and...you make it a lot harder to work with them, especially in conjunction.

Can you give an example of this? I can't think of any myself - generators also raise a StopIteration exception, for instance, so they could use the same value.
