The doc indicates that you can replace 'before' with 'after' showing the use of try!. The two examples should be equivalent, but they are not.

In the File::create we were inducing a panic before in case of error, not propagating. It is important for newbies (like myself) to understand that try! propagates failures, while unwrap can induce a panic.

The other alternative is to make the 'before' File::create also manually handle Err like the other calls. Either way it would be consistent.

Thanks for the pull request, and welcome! The Rust team is excited to review your changes, and you should hear from @steveklabnik (or someone else) soon.

If any changes to this PR are deemed necessary, please add them as extra commits. This ensures that the reviewer can see what has changed since they last reviewed the code. The way Github handles out-of-date commits, this should also make it reasonably obvious what issues have or haven't been addressed. Large or tricky changes may require several passes of review and changes.

Please see the contribution instructions for more information.
