I suggest recognizing in the parser:

as a special case, in addition to using
Parser::isDeclaration(). Gradually we can turn that special

It's better to do the opposite, accept the common safe syntax
"catch(Exception)" (it's common because often you don't need to
give it a name, it's like function arguments without a variable
name), and refuse the "catch all" that is dangerous, that is a
bad practice even in Python.

Agreed.
