+ _FUNC_(expr) - Evaluate an expression and handle certain types of runtime
exceptions by returning NULL.
+ In cases where it is preferable that queries produce NULL instead of
failing when corrupt or invalid data is encountered, the TRY function may be
useful, especially when ANSI mode is on and the users need null-tolerant on
certain columns or outputs.

nit: "the TRY function" -> "the `_FUNC_` function"?
