Description

This is a tracking issue for the RFC "Homogeneous Try Blocks" (rust-lang/rfcs#3721).
The feature gate for the issue is #![feature(try_blocks)].

This obviates the previous #31436 tracking issue (which had included other things like the ? operator itself and has gotten huge).

Note that this does not include heterogeneous try blocks; for those see https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/149488.

About tracking issues

Tracking issues are used to record the overall progress of implementation.
They are also used as hubs connecting to other relevant issues, e.g., bugs or open design questions.
A tracking issue is however not meant for large scale discussion, questions, or bug reports about a feature.
Instead, open a dedicated issue for the specific matter and add the relevant feature gate label.
Discussion comments will get marked as off-topic or deleted.
Repeated discussions on the tracking issue may lead to the tracking issue getting locked.

Research direction

Start with RFC 3721 and the implementation history, especially PRs 148725 and 154409. Review the stabilization guide, documentation instructions, and linked style-guide material, then determine which unchecked tracking steps remain. Done means the documentation, syntax-style work, and stabilization process are completed and checked off.
