The command "try" is new built-in tcl 8.6. Since the implementation of 
proc "try" in macports_util.tcl says, it is compatible with Tcl TIP #89, 
lets hope that the usage pattern in of "try" in macports are compatible 
with TIP #89, and one can use the built-in "try" instead of the proc - 
at least, when tcl8.6 is used.
