- Prefix for methods that can fail, returning a `Result`.

TryFromis aFrom-like trait for types whose single-value constructors might fail in some way. -
Ask: Why arenât
Vec::getand other similar methods calledtry_get?Methods are named
getif they return a reference to an existing value and return anOptioninstead ofResultbecause there is only one failure mode. For example, only âindex out of boundsâ forVec::get, and âkey does not existâ forHashMap::get.
