Updated Rails to 3.1.1 and noticed this ‘undocumented deprecation’ of
try() method behavior.

In Rails 3.1.0 and earlier:

nil.try(:method) => allways Nil
object.try(:method) => executes method if defined, or returns Nil if
NoMethodError exception raised.

In Rail 3.1.1

nil.try(:method) => allways Nil
object.try(:method) => executes method if defined, or raise
NoMethodError exception directly if just send() method would be called!

That is important deprecation. I think Try should definitely ignore
NoMethodError.

Now i have to rewrite some code
