try modifier in apply,select,etc

[mahrud]

Not long ago we added support for something like:

i6 : select(-5..5, even and not zero)

o6 = (-4, -2, 2, 4)

Which is pretty nice. Basically not Function and Function and Function return a function that negate the output or and the outputs.

Would be neat if this was also supported:

apply(10, try myfunc)

Maybe this is not feasible because there's an actual double meaning here, in which case case I'm happy to close this.

Making sure I understand -- the proposal is that try f would return the function x -> try f x ?

Yes, I figured I mention in case you had an idea to make it work, but it would be hard to distinguish it from normal try.
