Sure it can. And KeyboardInterrupt could be raised at any time, too.
But this is a TOOL, not a deity. If Function X is known to call
Function Y and built-in method Z, and also raises FooException, then
X's list of "most likely exceptions" would be FooException +
Y.__exceptions__ + Z.__exceptions__. It won't be perfect, but it'd be
something that could go into an autodoc-style facility. Obviously you
can fiddle with things, but in _ordinary usage_ this is what it's
_most likely_ to produce.
