Obviously this:

on myBoolean(myExpression)
        try
                myExpression
                return true as boolean
        on error
                return false as boolean
        end try
end myBoolean

doesn't work, since the error is caught before sending myExpression to
myBoolean and I still end up with an error instead of FALSE...

So I'd need something that delays the evaluation of myExpression until it is
sent to myBoolean. Does that exist?
