Well, I certainly wouldn't advocate "except Exception: -1", but the
syntax is the same as "except KeyError: -1" which is less
unreasonable.
But PEP 463 was rejected, which means that any proposals along these
lines need to first deal with the objections to that PEP, else there's
not a lot of point discussing them.
