+      If *return_exceptions* is False, cancelling gather() after it
+      has been marked done won't cancel any submitted awaitables.
+      For instance, gather can be marked done after propagating an
+      exception to the caller, therefore, calling ``gather.cancel()``
+      after catching an exception (raised by one of the awaitables) from
+      gather won't cancel any other awaitables.

    .. versionchanged:: 3.7
       If the *gather* itself is cancelled, the cancellation is
       propagated regardless of *return_exceptions*.
