-   Return true if the *given* exception matches the exception in *exc*.  If *exc*
-   is a class object, this also returns true when *given* is an instance of a
-   subclass.  If *exc* is a tuple, all exceptions in the tuple (and recursively in
-   subtuples) are searched for a match.  If *given* is *NULL*, a memory access
-   violation will occur.
