# Raise

A `RAISE` statement without an argument has the form:

        RAISE e

where `e` is an exception that takes no argument. The outcome of the statement is the exception `e`. A `RAISE` statement with an argument has the form:

        RAISE e(x)

where `e` is an exception that takes an argument and `x` is an expression assignable to `e`'s argument type. The outcome is the exception `e` paired with the argument `x`.
