FWIW, I use it a few times in Part 5a:

- Once in main.py, to wrap an OSError (You'll see why)
- Again in qapidoc to create a "QAPIDocError" class, but this is only 
used in PoC code to demonstrate that QAPISchemaParser is fully typed.

I am finding it handy, though it may be true we wind up not needing it, 
based on reviews in part 5.

Thanks for queueing it up!
