Description:

Handle the <deleteCard> <message> if you want to perform cleanup before a <card> is removed from the <stack>.

The actual deletion is not triggered by the <deleteCard> <message>, so <trap|trapping> the <message> and not allowing it to <pass> does not prevent the <card> from being removed.
