Improve `try!` docs to make clearer it returns `Result`.
The API documentation is not explicit enough that because `try!` returns `Err` early for you, you can only use it in functions that return `Result`. The book mentions this, but if you come across `try!` outside of the book and look it up in the docs, this restriction on the return type of the function is not particularly clear.
