I know of one proprietary platform where this is not true.  On the other
hand, GCC does not currently support this system.  

FWIW, I strongly support the try/finally proposal.  One advantage that
hasn't been mentioned is that it may help people migrate from
proprietary compilers to GCC.  I think that this user-centric argument
is compelling just on it's own.
