Hmm, TEST doesn't work all that well to describe .:delete{$key} either.

    .OPT
    .ALT
    .TRY
    .MAYBE
    .WHEN
    .WHETHER
    .ASK
    .QUERY
    .STATUS

    .ADV

I think I like STATUS the best at the moment.  But I can just imagine
some coding standard mandating that it must be written:

    if not STATUS "/tmp/foo": :r { die; }
