@ericsnowcurrently: since your implemented the function, I added you as a co-author :-)

@vstinner What was so incredibly urgent that you couldn't wait for anyone to review this?

Well, I'm working on the PEP 737 since 2018, the implementation is quite straightforward, the API got approved by the Steering Council, so I was just happy to finally see my work being approved, so I merged the changes. This specific change only makes an existing API public.

In 2018, I reverted changes and started this discussion which didn't go anywhere: https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/thread/HKYUMTVHNBVB5LJNRMZ7TPUQKGKAERCJ/

Last November, I gave a new try: https://discuss.python.org/t/enhance-type-name-formatting-when-raising-an-exception-add-t-format-in-c-and-add-type-fullyqualname/38129

Yesterday, finally, the Steering Council approved my PEP after I made the changes they requested ;-)
