    Python and Delphi both have try-except and try-finally
but no try-except-finally. I once saw the person responsible
for this in Delphi explain why there was no try-except-finally,
in reply to a complaint about its non-existence. I'm not going
to try to convince you he was right, but at least in Delphi
it wasn't just an oversight, they considered it and finally
decided against it.
