Re: Comparison with False - something I don't understand

When writing the C code for the new regex module I thought that it
would've been easier if I could've used exceptions to propagate errors
and unwind the stack, instead of having to return an error code which
had to be checked by the caller, and then have the caller explicitly
return an error code to /its/ caller.

That's called longjmp.

Automatic garbage collection would also have been nice.
