That change looks fine.  However, given that we use `print exception'
and `browse exception' for printing the exception value,
and in view of our general approach of giving commands long
names with short aliases, I think it would make more sense
to name this command `exception', and to add `e' and/or `excp'
as aliases for it (in scripts/mdbrc.in), rather than naming
it `excp'.
