-# A final note
+# The deep end
 
-Macros, as currently implemented, are not for the faint of heart. Even
-ordinary syntax errors can be more difficult to debug when they occur inside a
-macro, and errors caused by parse problems in generated code can be very
-tricky. Invoking the `log_syntax!` macro can help elucidate intermediate
-states, invoking `trace_macros!(true)` will automatically print those
-intermediate states out, and passing the flag `--pretty expanded` as a
-command-line argument to the compiler will show the result of expansion.
+The introductory chapter mentioned recursive macros, but it did not give the
+full story. Recursive macros are useful for another reason: Each recursive
+invocation gives you another opportunity to pattern-match the macro's
+arguments.
+
+As an extreme example, it is possible, though hardly advisable, to implement
+the [Bitwise Cyclic Tag](http://esolangs.org/wiki/Bitwise_Cyclic_Tag) automaton
+within Rust's macro system.

 If Rust's macro system can't do what you need, you may want to write a
 [compiler plugin](plugins.html) instead. Compared to `macro_rules!`
 macros, this is significantly more work, the interfaces are much less stable,
-and the warnings about debugging apply ten-fold. In exchange you get the

 extension plugins are sometimes called *procedural macros* for this reason.

 ```

 `ok()` converts the `IoResult` into an `Option`, and `expect()` does the same
 thing as `unwrap()`, but takes a message. This message is passed along to the
 underlying `panic!`, providing a better error message if the code errors.
+
+# Using `try!`
+
+When writing code that calls many functions that return the `Result` type, the
+error handling can be tedious. The `try!` macro hides some of the boilerplate
+of propagating errors up the call stack.
+
+It replaces this:
+
+```rust
+use std::fs::File;
+use std::io;
+use std::io::prelude::*;
+
+struct Info {
+    name: String,
+    age: i32,
+    rating: i32,
+}
+
+fn write_info(info: &Info) -> io::Result<()> {
+    let mut file = File::open("my_best_friends.txt").unwrap();
+
+    if let Err(e) = writeln!(&mut file, "name: {}", info.name) {

+    }
+    if let Err(e) = writeln!(&mut file, "age: {}", info.age) {

+    }
+    if let Err(e) = writeln!(&mut file, "rating: {}", info.rating) {
+        return Err(e)
+    }
+
+    return Ok(());
+}
+```
+
+With this:
+
+```rust
+use std::fs::File;
+use std::io;
+use std::io::prelude::*;
+
+struct Info {
+    name: String,
+    age: i32,
+    rating: i32,
+}
+
+fn write_info(info: &Info) -> io::Result<()> {
+    let mut file = try!(File::open("my_best_friends.txt"));
+
+    try!(writeln!(&mut file, "name: {}", info.name));
+    try!(writeln!(&mut file, "age: {}", info.age));
+    try!(writeln!(&mut file, "rating: {}", info.rating));
+
+    return Ok(());
+}
+```
+
+Wrapping an expression in `try!` will result in the unwrapped success (`Ok`)
+value, unless the result is `Err`, in which case `Err` is returned early from
+the enclosing function.
+
+It's worth noting that you can only use `try!` from a function that returns a
+`Result`, which means that you cannot use `try!` inside of `main()`, because
+`main()` doesn't return anything.
+
+`try!` makes use of [`FromError`](../std/error/#the-fromerror-trait) to determine
+what to return in the error case.

 //! failure, but rather because the target type `Foo<Y>` is itself just
 //! not well-formed. Basically we get to assume well-formedness of all
 //! types involved before considering variance.
+//!
+//! ### Associated types
+//!
+//! Any trait with an associated type is invariant with respect to all
+//! of its inputs. To see why this makes sense, consider what
+//! subtyping for a trait reference means:
+//!
+//!    <T as Trait> <: <U as Trait>
+//!
+//! means that if I know that `T as Trait`,
+//! I also know that `U as
+//! Trait`. Moreover, if you think of it as
+//! dictionary passing style, it means that
+//! a dictionary for `<T as Trait>` is safe
+//! to use where a dictionary for `<U as
+//! Trait>` is expected.
+//!
+//! The problem is that when you can
+//! project types out from `<T as Trait>`,
+//! the relationship to types projected out
+//! of `<U as Trait>` is completely unknown
+//! unless `T==U` (see #21726 for more
+//! details). Making `Trait` invariant
+//! ensures that this is true.
+//!
+//! *Historical note: we used to preserve this invariant another way,
+//! by tweaking the subtyping rules and requiring that when a type `T`
+//! appeared as part of a projection, that was considered an invariant
+//! location, but this version does away with the need for those
+//! somewhat "special-case-feeling" rules.*
+//!
+//! Another related reason is that if we didn't make traits with
+//! associated types invariant, then projection is no longer a
+//! function with a single result. Consider:
+//!
+//! ```
+//! trait Identity { type Out; fn foo(&self); }
+//! impl<T> Identity for T { type Out = T; ... }
+//! ```
+//!
+//! Now if I have `<&'static () as Identity>::Out`, this can be
+//! validly derived as `&'a ()` for any `'a`:
+//!
+//!    <&'a () as Identity> <: <&'static () as Identity>
+//!    if &'static () < : &'a ()   -- Identity is contravariant in Self
+//!    if 'static : 'a             -- Subtyping rules for relations
+//!
+//! This change otoh means that `<'static () as Identity>::Out` is
+//! always `&'static ()` (which might then be upcast to `'a ()`,
+//! separately). This was helpful in solving #21750.
