re "meaningfullness" - I think he's saying that a finalizer for a function called in a goroutine might not run if main() quits first, intentionally or otherwise. You can of course check for this specific case by making sure all your goroutines are cleaned up before exiting main - but in some (many?) cases that's overkill.
If it's REALLY important to know which finalizer actions completed you could log them to disk and analyse the results afterwards to see that all the boxes got checked. Not quite what the OP was looking for I know - but might help diagnose problems.
