But a better name than check() would also be good.
Ah, I guess you like the idea of attempt_transition() returning undef on failure but not die'ing, eh? I guess it'd be easy enough to support both approaches, as you suggest.
How about try_switch()? Much shorter, but with the same meaning. And it does operate rather like Switch.pm -- it essentially executes a short-circuiting switch statement.
I think I like it. Then I could have switch() be the one that croaks.
Thoughts?
Cheers,
