Interestingly, the keywords `try` and `catch` and `finally` currently must each 
be followed by a block, so there is indeed syntactic space to use each one with 
a following expression instead. 

Which only suggests that . . . *puts on fireproof suit and then climbs into a 
concrete bunker and slams the door*:

   “try x;”

would be shorter and no sillier.
