I know the finally statement was mentioned/discussed during
afterwork hours at the Santa Cruz meeting but unfortunately
that is about it. (I agree with you that it is very convenient
to have the finally block, and most Borland Delphi or Java
programmers will agree on that.)

Ie. the answer to your question would be no, it has not been
discussed, at least not as far as I know.
