.get_results is documented in PDD19; PDD23 has a section about the 
different attributes of the exception object. 

It's not yet possible to have a .sub as an exception handler. I propose 
to close this ticket, because 'obtaining' the exception object is now 
documented. Once having a .sub as an EH, then documentation should be 
added at that point (or a new ticket should be opened).

Comments?
