     "there is some [in-band encoding](https://youtu.be/iKzOBWOHGFE?si=XAtQKhk3eHboHcL-&t=1011) of Python's control exceptions with the users exceptions.  When the `close()` [method](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/expressions.html#generator.close) is called on a generator coroutine, Python will throw a  [`GeneratorExit`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#GeneratorExit) exception into the coroutine.  If you catch this exception and try to yield another `Msg`, either explicitly in an `except` block or in a `finally` block, Python will raise a `RuntimeError` at the call site.\n",
