If my memory is correct, Hans rejected this kind of construct in try_ctrl,
because if you are only doing try() it shouldn't fail like this. Instead we can
validate in the real s_ctrl, but I believe the downside is that it makes the
error asynchronous when a request is used (perhaps that's actually wanted ?)
