# (List/Array/Seq).try(Average/AverageBy/Max/MaxBy/Min/MinBy/Reduce/ReduceBack/Skip/Tail/Take)

I propose we add try versions of all the remaining partial functions that do not have a try version already.

The existing way of approaching this problem in F# is either exception as control flow or duplicated implementation from FSharp.Core.

## Pros and Cons

The advantages of making this adjustment to F# are
1. Safety
2. Convenience
3. Conciseness

The disadvantages of making this adjustment to F# are the extra functions to learn.
