The only thing I find sad about this is that it doesn't seem to enable
one to define __try and __finally as macros with the expected
behavior, such that, when __try/__finally make it to the standards,
and/or people realize it was a mistake to not put it in in the first
place, it's easy to rearrange code to take advantage of this.
I'd much rather introduce a feature that *could* actually be used to
implement __try/__finally by means of preprocessor macros. I'd love
to be proved wrong, but I can't see how this proposal would enable
this use :-(
