- The "finally" block has been discussed in the extensions working group, which
- was the one chartered to deal with exception issues. I don't remember exactly
- when, but it was quite a while ago (2 years?) and it was rejected as having
- insufficient value to justify a further extension.

- I have insufficient interest to go through my rather large collection of
- X3J16 mailings to discover the details.
