After reading through the PEP and skimming the code (but I didn't build
it), something I didn't see: What happens to a currently conforming except
check?

try:
    async with trio.open_nursery() as nursery:
        # Make two concurrent calls to child()
        nursery.start_soon(child)
        nursery.start_soon(child)
except ValueError:
    pass

I've removed the * from the example: Say the interface was built for 3.7,
but the "trio" module has been upgraded to use ExceptionGroups which can't
fall back to a standalone exception.

Silently hand back the first exception, or the first matching exception?
Deprecation warning? Silently skip? Context-specific error? Run the default
error handler?

I think that deserves a statement in the PEP.
