Out of curiosity, what's the reasoning for this? Would we incur a
significant performance penalty by looking at the exception to see
whether it's complaining about the number of arguments (in which case
it should not propagate) or whether something else has gone wrong and
raised a TypeError (in which case the exception probably should
propagate and result in a 500 error)?
