Don't know if this would be better (or useful, etc.), but it could
possibly be faster than explicit try/except, because with try/except
you have to instantiate the exception object. Presumably tryexcept()
-- however it was spelled -- would catch the exception in C, thus
avoiding the overhead of exception object instantiation.
