Originally reported by: Mathieu Agopian (BitBucket: magopian, GitHub: magopian)

There's no documentation on the ExceptionInfo returned by pytest.raises.

There's an hint about such an object being returned in the following documentation though: http://pytest.org/latest/builtin.html?highlight=exceptioninfo#helpers-for-assertions-about-exceptions-warnings

On irc (bug day):

"09:48 < hpk> magopian: the docs should go into doc/en/assert.txt - there is a section already, and then maybe cross-ref it from builtins"

Use the separate pass for # fmt: off on all code

This removes the hacky exception-based handling that didn't work across
