Allow exception conditions of the form "def e = thrown()"

Should have same effect as "def e = thrown(Throwable)".

You may want to default it to thrown(Exception) to match Groovy's convention of:
try {
  throw new Exception("foo")
} catch (e) {
  println "Caught"
}

Yeah, that's certainly an option.
