It can be covered, but then I'll have to duplicate the
`connection.release()` call in both the try and catch blocks, (and
remember, there can be multiple resources to be cleaned up).
Plus, in case that I have a function with multiple if-else branches with
returns from multiple branches, I will have to duplicate that in all the
branches.
Another benefit of this is that this will help us logically group
allocation and deallocation of resources together, for better readability
and debuggability.
