Using Rails try() for chaining multiple methods

object.rb

class Object

  def try_all(*methods)
    values = [self]
    methods.each do |method|
      value = values.last.try(method)
      return nil if value.nil?
      values << value
    end
    values.last
  end

end

This is not a great idea as it's only use is in cases where the Law of Demeter has probably already been broken. However, in rare cases, or when dealing with legacy code that's mid-refactor it can be helpful to avoid long chains of try(:this).try(:that) calls.
