Ard, if the Exception class is not the base class of all exceptions(catch all), it's very difficult to emulate "finally"(You must know every exception that may be thrown inside the try block, and sometimes you don't).
Of course, I was just stating that 'finally' != 'catch (...)', while some of the previous postings suggest that they are the same.
