false positive in variable-name rule

[HamletDRC]

There is a false positive in the variable-name issue.

My code:

    var localStorageItem = ...;
    try {
        JSON.parse(localStorageItem);
     } catch (SyntaxError) {
         return null;
     }

SyntaxError gives the error:
variable name must be in camelcase or uppercase

It should not.

you're assigning the error value to a new var named SyntaxError... what do you expect instead? do you want to disable this rule for all catch statements?

#522 is probably the right way to deal with this

You are correct, this is not a false positive.

I was reading SyntaxError as a class reference, not as a variable reference. I blame too much time coding Java. Sorry for the false issue.
