KEYWORDS list DESCRIBE An invocation {trypluck' f [x1,...,xk,...,xn]} returns either the pair (f(xk),[x1,...,xk-1,xk+1,...xn]) where {xk} has been lifted out of the list without disturbing the relative positions of the other elements, where {f(xk)} is {SOME(v)}, and where {f(xi)} returns {NONE} for {x1,...,xk-1}; or it returns {(NONE,[x1,...xn]} when {f} applied to every element of the list returns {NONE}. This is an ‘option’ version of the other library function {trypluck}. FAILURE Never fails.
