Hmm – I forgot Python has `else` for `for` and `while` too. But it's a tad difficult to wrap one's mind around the meaning of the word `else` in this particular context whereas it actually means `nobreak`. Perhaps if this were added to D, `default` would be a better choice of keyword, since we all know that `default` (as in `switch`) is not executed if `break` happens. So: try { code_which_can_throw(); } catch { handler(); } default { only_if_didnt_throw(); } finally { mandatory(); } How does that look? -- Shriramana Sharma, Penguin #395953
