 =head1 SYNOPSIS
 
+You can use Try::Tiny's C<try> and C<catch> to expect and handle exceptional
+conditions, avoiding quirks in Perl and common mistakes:
+
        # handle errors with a catch handler
        try {
                die "foo";

                warn "caught error: $_"; # not $@
        };
 
+You can also use it like a stanalone C<eval> to catch and ignore any error
+conditions.  Obviously, this is an extreme measure not to be undertaken
+lightly:
+
        # just silence errors
        try {
                die "foo";
