run/3

run(guard :Guard, specimen, ejector :ExitFunc) :CoercedSlot

Makes a CoercedSlot holding the result of guard.coerce(specimen, ejector).

attempt/2

attempt(guard :Guard, specimen) :CoercedSlot

As run/1 unless the guard ejects, in which case the resulting slot's guard will be LostApproval[guard].

Signature: __optUncall() :Portrayal
