- I know the finally statement was mentioned/discussed during
- afterwork hours at the Santa Cruz meeting but unfortunately
- that is about it. (I agree with you that it is very convenient
- to have the finally block, and most Borland Delphi or Java
- programmers will agree on that.)

- Ie. the answer to your question would be no, it has not been
- discussed, at least not as far as I know.
