-class _TracebackLogger:
-    """Helper to log a traceback upon destruction if not cleared.
-
-    This solves a nasty problem with Futures and Tasks that have an
-    exception set: if nobody asks for the exception, the exception is
-    never logged.  This violates the Zen of Python: 'Errors should
-    never pass silently.  Unless explicitly silenced.'
-
-    However, we don't want to log the exception as soon as
-    set_exception() is called: if the calling code is written
-    properly, it will get the exception and handle it properly.  But
-    we *do* want to log it if result() or exception() was never called
-    -- otherwise developers waste a lot of time wondering why their
-    buggy code fails silently.
-
-    An earlier attempt added a __del__() method to the Future class
-    itself, but this backfired because the presence of __del__()
-    prevents garbage collection from breaking cycles.  A way out of
-    this catch-22 is to avoid having a __del__() method on the Future
-    class itself, but instead to have a reference to a helper object
-    with a __del__() method that logs the traceback, where we ensure
-    that the helper object doesn't participate in cycles, and only the
-    Future has a reference to it.
-
-    The helper object is added when set_exception() is called.  When
-    the Future is collected, and the helper is present, the helper
-    object is also collected, and its __del__() method will log the
-    traceback.  When the Future's result() or exception() method is
-    called (and a helper object is present), it removes the helper
-    object, after calling its clear() method to prevent it from
-    logging.
-
-    One downside is that we do a fair amount of work to extract the
-    traceback from the exception, even when it is never logged.  It
-    would seem cheaper to just store the exception object, but that
-    references the traceback, which references stack frames, which may
-    reference the Future, which references the _TracebackLogger, and
-    then the _TracebackLogger would be included in a cycle, which is
-    what we're trying to avoid!  As an optimization, we don't
-    immediately format the exception; we only do the work when
-    activate() is called, which call is delayed until after all the
-    Future's callbacks have run.  Since usually a Future has at least
-    one callback (typically set by 'yield from') and usually that
-    callback extracts the callback, thereby removing the need to
-    format the exception.
-
-    PS. I don't claim credit for this solution.  I first heard of it
-    in a discussion about closing files when they are collected.
