To developers:
How would a generalized/packed construct like
try
[code block]
finally
[code block]
except
[code block]
end;
(in other words: a try-*-end construct where * can be 'finally', or 'except',
or BOTH.)
fit into Pascal philosophy?
Advantages is mainly:
- one less indent level ('oh, I need try-except around all THAT, bugger.') to care about;
(yeah, even with all the good tools to manage the code, it stings, that the two
have to be separately declared and one needs to remember that...)
I think this complicates things unduly. As it is case-else and then-else
are about the only places where there is this sort of composite block,
and finally-except-end is even uglier since parts of all three blocks
may be executed.
