Error handling: Log from the exception itself

[johannaengland]

Note: One idea I saw regarding logging of exceptions: log from the exception itself.

import logging

class MyError(Exception):
  "Helpful docs"

  def __init__(self, msg):
    logging.exception(msg)
    super().__init__(msg)

The above is as minimal as it gets, the whole thing was a bit more elaborate: Stackoverflow: comment to "Logging and raising an exception". Needs testing to see if the traceback is saved.

As later polish, this would cut down on code in plugins even further.
