is it just me or does the word "try" seem to imply the opposite here? To me saying "try" is like saying "attempt to run this" like we have in a try/catch block.

Great functionality though. I'd be very happy to see this included no matter what it's named.
EDIT: This is answered in the FAQ section after I read further. Apparently it's because "try" is already a keyword. I still don't like it, but I get it.
- frou_dh 7y agoSee also the "continue" statement in C/Go/etc for something that does the opposite of what the word suggests.
