-"""The typing of RaisesGroup involves a lot of deception and lies, since AFAIK what we
-actually want to achieve is ~impossible. This is because we specify what we expect with
-instances of RaisesGroup and exception classes, but excinfo.value will be instances of
-[Base]ExceptionGroup and instances of exceptions. So we need to "translate" from
-RaisesGroup to ExceptionGroup.
-
-The way it currently works is that RaisesGroup[E] corresponds to
-ExceptionInfo[BaseExceptionGroup[E]], so the top-level group will be correct. But
-RaisesGroup[RaisesGroup[ValueError]] will become
-ExceptionInfo[BaseExceptionGroup[RaisesGroup[ValueError]]]. To get around that we specify
-RaisesGroup as a subclass of BaseExceptionGroup during type checking - which should mean
-that most static type checking for end users should be mostly correct.
