[Zope-Checkins] SVN: Zope/trunk/src/OFS/SimpleItem.py simplified code: The 'can_raise' check was broken and useless.

[Yvo Schubbe]

Log message for revision 110806:
  simplified code: The 'can_raise' check was broken and useless.
  - *Broken* because re-raising doesn't work with more than one required argument. "Needs to be able to take more than two arguments" was a wrong assumption.
  - *Useless* because the code below never tries to re-raise rendered errors. That's the reason why the wrong check never caused trouble.
