Quickly renamed. Also removed the long comment explaining why this is

better than the old error API.

-/* Error handling -- see also run.c */
+/* Error handling */
 
-/* New error handling interface.
-
-   The following problem exists (existed): methods of built-in modules
-   are called with 'self' and 'args' arguments, but without a context
-   argument, so they have no way to raise a specific exception.
-   The same is true for the object implementations: no context argument.
-   The old convention was to set 'errno' and to return NULL.
-   The caller (usually call_function() in eval.c) detects the NULL
-   return value and then calls puterrno(ctx) to turn the errno value
-   into a true exception.  Problems with this approach are:
-   - it used standard errno values to indicate Python-specific errors,
-     but this means that when such an error code is reported by a system
-     call (e.g., in module posix), the user gets a confusing message
-   - errno is a global variable, which makes extensions to a multi-
-     threading environment difficult; e.g., in IRIX, multi-threaded
-     programs must use the function oserror() instead of looking in errno
-   - there is no portable way to add new error numbers for specic
-     situations -- the value space for errno is reserved to the OS, yet
-     the way to turn module-specific errors into a module-specific
-     exception requires module-specific values for errno
-   - there is no way to add a more situation-specific message to an
-     error.
-  
-  The new interface solves all these problems.  To return an error, a
-  built-in function calls err_set(exception), err_setval(exception,
-  value) or err_setstr(exception, string), and returns NULL.  These
-  functions save the value for later use by puterrno().  To adapt this
-  scheme to a multi-threaded environment, only the implementation of
-  err_setval() has to be changed.
