I didn't know try..finally even worked like that. :) I thought it was just for
exceptions but I see it captures exit also. The defer keyword is nicer on the
eyes I would say because it don't require wrapping the entire function in a big
block of code.
So never mind then I guess. I'll start using try..finally and see how that
works for me.
