Wow, these things would be great! I have been working with database connections, and they feel pretty awkward right now because there are so many opportunities for errors. Either or both of these would be very appealing. I remember asking on IRC a few times to see if I could get some interest. One of the things I proposed was a postfix operator in place of try, so I'm pleased to see something like that appear. For some reason it just really bothered me to see all of my statements begin with "try!" rather than what they are actually intended to do. The "?" could be a great help.
