/**
 * Wrapper for `try`/`catch`.
 *
 * @category Common
 * @remarks
 * This functions tries to run a function and silences the `throw`s by wrapping
 * it with a `try/catch` and returning `undefined` instead.
 * @example
 * ```typescript
 * const willFail = () => {
 * 	throw new Error("fail");
 * };
 *
 * const safeWillFail = attempt(willFail);
 * safeWillFail(); // undefined
 * ```
 *
 * @template Arguments Type of the arguments of the function to be wrapped.
 * @param wrappedFunction Function to be wrapped.
 * @returns Function wrapped in `try`/`catch`.
