+Note that `try` will swallow no-method errors, returning nil instead. If you want to protect against typos, use `try!` instead:
+
+```ruby
+@number.try(:nest)  # => nil
+@number.try!(:nest) # NoMethodError: undefined method `nest' for 1:Fixnum
+```
+
 NOTE: Defined in `active_support/core_ext/object/try.rb`.
