i have done plenty of patches that happily lived witherrors (while ugly,
they were expected)
to remove the ugliness, it would be nice to have a (built in!) way to
"try" instantiating an object.
like
[try { import mrpeach } catch {}]
(with the catch-clause defining an alternative object to be instantiated)
