<p>Also the argument of a catch block may apply declared lifting like in:
</p>
<div class="listing plain"><pre><b>catch</b> (BaseException <b>as</b> RoleClass param) { <i>stmts</i> }</pre></div>
<p>This syntax is only valid in a non-static scope of a team (directly or nested).
In the given example, <code>RoleClass</code> must be played by <code>BaseException</code>.
Note, that <code>RoleClass</code> itself need not be a throwable.
As the effect of this declaration the catch block will catch any exception of type <code>BaseException</code>
and provides it wrapped with a <code>RoleClass</code> instance to the subsequent block.
<br />
Also note, that re-throwing the given instance <code>param</code> has the semantics of implicitly lowering
the role to its base exception before throwing, because the role conforms to the required type
<code>Throwable</code> only via lowering.
