tryOrElse

Runs block and returns its value, or the value of fallback applied to the thrown Exception.

Use this instead of tryOrDefault when the fallback needs the exception, for example to log it or derive a value from it. Only Exception is caught, not Throwable, so Errors and other non-Exception throwables propagate to the caller. This function is not suspending: CancellationException is an Exception and would be swallowed here, so do not wrap suspending calls in it. Suspend-aware variants exist elsewhere in this library as runCatchingCancellable.
