Not sure if anyone has already mentioned the possibility that "try" could actually improve error handling by simply removing much of the tediousness. Both reading and writing all the error checks becomes a nail in my eyes even if realize that it is very important. What if "try" could take some of that annoyance away and simply make me focus on handling the errors where appropriate and pass on where convenient?
