Oh I don't know about that. Doing a quick and totally unscientific survey 
of my own code, I find that try...except with no finally outnumbers 
try...finally by about 10 to 1.

In any case, any syntax for inline exception handling should be kept nice 
and lightweight. It shouldn't try to duplicate all the functionality of 
try...except...else...finally blocks.
