I agree with that, it's unnecessary unless when nesting and subject to
the danging-else trap. I just wish this was more consistent in the
compiler, i.e. reflection and I/O code could be made to take only 50%
of the space if try-catch-finally would honor the same single-
statement rule as elsewhere. I believe there was actually a proposal
for such in project Coin.
