Conceptually speaking, a throw requires an explicit expression:
you can not generate throws without using an explicit expression
to generate it.
Similarly, you can write your own "adverse" style conjunction
which evaluates a verb and if it generates a throw evaluates
some other verb. The implementation of this conjunction
would be explicit, but if you are already dealing with a throw
that should not be an obstacle for you.
In other words something like this (but I have not tested it):
adverse=:2 :0
try.u y catcht.v y end.
:
try.x u y catcht.x v y end.
)
throwAnException adverse ('caught you!"_) ''
