+Exception Chaining Implementation
+---------------------------------
+
+[Exception chaining](https://docs.python.org/dev/tutorial/errors.html#exception-chaining)
+refers to setting the ``__context__`` and ``__cause__`` fields of an exception as it is
+being raised. The ``__context__`` field is set by ``_PyErr_SetObject()`` in
+:cpy-file:`Python/errors.c` (which is ultimately called by all ``PyErr_Set*()`` functions).
+The ``__cause__`` field (explicit chaining) is set by the ``RAISE_VARARGS`` bytecode.
