Subject: [ruby-core:43306] [ruby-trunk - Feature #1122] request for: Object#try


Issue #1122 has been updated by Thomas Sawyer.


How about just `respond` ?

    foo.respond(:bar)

And really, there's no reason it can't support delegation style *too*.

    foo.respond.bar

This later form will be slower of course because it has to create an intermediate delegator --at least until Ruby has some "high-order function" capability built-in (*hint* *hint*). But it's certainly the nicer notation in most cases.
