Capture an exception for later rendering. *limit*, *lookup_lines* and
*capture_locals* are as for the :class:`StackSummary` class.
+ If *compact* is true, only data that is required by :class:`TracebackException`'s

+ ``__context__`` field is calculated only if ``__cause__`` is ``None`` and
+ ``__suppress_context__`` is false.

Note that when locals are captured, they are also shown in the traceback.
