Can we please call the new try something else, and leave try doing what it already does?
The new behavior was discussed at the time #try originally went in, and, with some dissenters, it was agreed that it was less useful for most people because any typo now becomes an expression that returns nil rather than an error you can see and fix. More generally, changing the semantics in the way that has been described is really confusing two very different things, and makes for a huge amount of search-and-replacing for those of us who read the changelogs and a lot of broken apps for those who don't. Try isn't a great name anyway. We can just pick another. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Core" group.
