I'm really just trying to get you and Toby to agree on a compromise both can
live with.  I don't want to swallow exceptions, but I really don't have time
to argue about it now.

If change is limited to ZODB 3.3, then Zope HEAD is the only branch of
interest (so via current checkout of Zope, or of just the ZODB3 module).  If
it is indeed a backward compatible change, then no test should need to be
changed.  A new test verifying new behavior should be added.  I'm sure
Jeremy or I would be happy to add one, provided we get to skip the debate
<wink>.
