I can get try/finally in C (the samples of code under discussion)?
(Well, I guess MS has some custom extensions that work, but it's not
portable)

I agree in languages that support it, that the try/finally construct
is perfect for this sort of thing.  But absent such support, I'm not a
big fan of multiple exits from a code path unless really necessary.
