I think most folks assume that their program will not run as expected if
the sun explodes.

Saying that ``raise``, ``break``, and ``return`` are "one of a very few
explicit JUMP statements" implies that they are obscure. Listing them in
addition to the sun exploding suggests that you think they are similarly
unlikely and should be ignored as too bizarre to consider.

In contrast, I think raise, break, and return are quite common. Further, I
think you do too, despite what you are trying to imply. Maybe I read the
tone wrong. It's tough sometimes to hear someone's tone of voice in email.
