The exception is reported if you're stepping through the function where 
the handler is located, as in:
   try:
     value = dictionary[key]
   except KeyError:
     ...

This is done to make it clear why the except handler runs.  Wing will 
also report an exception if stepping over a function that raises an 
exception, but doesn't catch it internally.
