Yes, the complete idiom includes trapping the finalize() with an empty
catch (Throwable). Of course you have similar problems on C++'s side
with destructors that throw exceptions.

Huh?
using (Foo foo = new Foo(...))
{
...
}
What's not reliable there? Either foo gets initialized or it doesn't. If
it does, then finalize() is reliably called. If it doesn't, then
finalize() is reliably *not* called. Either way, entirely reliable.
