- Exceptions in Python are "raised", not "thrown",
- as they are in C++. When this documentation says that some Python exception
- is "raised" in the context of C++ code, it means that the corresponding
- Python exception is set via the <a href="http://www.python.org/doc/current/api/exceptionHandling.html" target="_top">Python/'C'
- API</a>, and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">throw_error_already_set</span><span class="special">()</span></code> is called.

- A technical term from the C++ standard. Short for "Plain Ol'Data":
- A POD-struct is an aggregate class that has no non-static data members
- of type pointer to member, non-POD-struct, non-POD-union (or array of
- such types) or reference, and has no user-defined copy assign- ment operator
- and no user-defined destructor. Similarly, a POD-union is an aggregate
- union that has no non-static data members of type pointer to member,
- non-POD-struct, non-POD-union (or array of such types) or reference,
- and has no user-defined copy assignment operator and no user-defined
- destructor. A POD class is a class that is either a POD-struct or a POD-union.
- An aggregate is an array or a class (clause 9) with no user-declared
- constructors (12.1), no private or protected non-static data members
- (clause 11), no base classes (clause 10), and no virtual functions (10.3).

- The "One Definition Rule", which says that any entity in a
- C++ program must have the same definition in all translation units (object
- files) which make up a program.
