I'm sure it could. But there aren't many use-cases. Look at the one
example I was able to find in the stdlib:

http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0463/#capturing-the-exception-object

It's hardly a shining example of the value of the proposal. Got any
really awesome demo that requires 'as'? Most of the supporting
examples use something like KeyError where it's simply "was an
exception thrown or not".
