-------------------+--------------------------------------------------------
 Scenario:  From python I call wrapped c++ code.  This c++ code calls a
 python function via a boost::python::object and attempts to extract a
 value from what is returned.  This causes a throw, and the exception
 propagates back up to python.  It is possible for 'stuff' to get called in
 a function like this:

 def foo():
    try:
        return
    except:
        stuff()

 I don't have all the details handy about what is happening on the C++
 side, this is a 'note to self' to investigate and document a best
 practice.
