It is better than the current situation where to call loop.stop() and
have the correct exit code I would need to resort to a global variable.
I would then probably try to write an exception handler like this:
def exception_handler(loop, context):
loop.stop(context.get('exception', Exception('unknown error')))
And then hope I don't lose the traceback!

At least in my situation I don't think this is a problem, the objective
is to shut down the process quickly to prevent bad things happening.
