Treat `KeyboardInterrupt` or `SystemExit` the same on program exit even if they are inside exception groups

Feature or enhancement

Proposal:

A KeyboardInterrupt or SystemExit inside a BaseExceptionGroup should be treated like a bare KeyboardInterrupt or SystemExit.

PS C:\...> python x.py
  + Exception Group Traceback (most recent call last):
  |   File "C:\...\x.py", line 1, in <module>
  |     raise BaseExceptionGroup("ki in an exception group", [KeyboardInterrupt()])
  | BaseExceptionGroup: ki in an exception group (1 sub-exception)
  +-+---------------- 1 ----------------
    | KeyboardInterrupt
    +------------------------------------
PS C:\...> $LastExitCode
1


PS C:\...> python x.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\...\x.py", line 1, in <module>
    raise KeyboardInterrupt()
KeyboardInterrupt
PS C:\...> $LastExitCode
-1073741510

Looking at the CPython source code, I believe _Py_HandleSystemExitAndKeyboardInterrupt is the relevant function.

Points for it:

• less pitfalls for a 3rd party using exception groups
• see any other failures (as exceptions) upon shutdown (ATM the workaround requires discarding the other exceptions)

Points against:

• SystemExit in an exception group prints out the stack trace, unlike when it's not in an exception group
  • we could make them consistent (filter out SystemExit and print the exception group then)

I volunteer to implement this if this is fine.

Has this already been discussed elsewhere?

This is a minor feature, which does not need previous discussion elsewhere

EDIT: I have now made a post. See https://discuss.python.org/t/keyboardinterrupt-and-systemexit-in-exception-groups-should-be-considered-for-pythons-exit-code/82816

Links to previous discussion of this feature:

I have tried some basic keyword searches as well as some digging in blame, but I can't find any previous discussion.

Commencez par _Py_HandleSystemExitAndKeyboardInterrupt de CPython, que l’issue identifie comme le point d’entrée pertinent, et reproduisez les deux exemples de codes de sortie avec un script qui lève une exception simple et un autre à l’intérieur d’un BaseExceptionGroup. Lisez la discussion liée avant de décider comment la sortie de SystemExit doit être traitée ; le travail est terminé lorsque KeyboardInterrupt et SystemExit groupés suivent le comportement de sortie autonome prévu.
