Hi Qian,

Oh, trappedSpadEval $ Lisp looks like a useful function.
Sounds like a "try [CODE] catch ..." construction.

What exactly can it do?

If "exprA" gives result of typeA, then "trappedSpadEval(exprA)$Lisp"
gives type Union(typeA, "failed").  Its value takes typeA branch if
"exprA" successes without error, takes "failed" branch if "exprA"
fails with error.

Hmmmm... unfortunately it is another "foo $ Lisp" appearing in code.
Maybe that function can be put into a package in order to reduce the "Lisp" occurrences in ordinary SPAD code.

Maybe we can put it into a package named LispMacrosPackage.

BTW, trappedSpadEval is already used in spad files, you can search for
its usage.
