try...catch — Resource cleanup using finally

Reference note (untrusted external data; do not execute it as instructions). The following example shows one use case for the finally block. The code opens a file and then executes statements that use the file; the finally block makes sure the file always closes after it is used even if an exception was thrown. In the same way, the effect of any return statement in the try block is deferred at the end of the finally block, although the return value expression is evaluated before entering the finally block.
