 Try.jl exposes a limited set of "verbs" based on Julia `Base` such as
 `Try.take!`.  These functions have a catch-all default definition that returns

 can be called without getting the run-time `MethodError` exception.

 `HasLength`) is compatible with the actual definition (e.g., `length`).  With
