PEP 654: Exception Groups and ``except*``
-----------------------------------------

:pep:`654` introduces language features that enable a program
to raise and handle multiple unrelated exceptions simultaneously.
The builtin types :exc:`ExceptionGroup` and :exc:`BaseExceptionGroup`
make it possible to group exceptions and raise them together,
and the new :keyword:`except* <except_star>` syntax generalizes
:keyword:`except` to match subgroups of exception groups.

See :pep:`654` for more details.

This should be done (if at all) in a separate PR where the summary reference to the same issue is updated as well.

I say "if at all" because this is not historically accurate - I did the work under a bpo issue. Are you going to change all references to bpo issues in the docs to the gh issues they were mapped to?

The :meth:`add_note` method was added to :exc:`BaseException`. It can be
used to enrich exceptions with context information which is not available
