This code will call freeSomeResource() -- that's why one may want to
have finally.
But I agree that there's no need for finally. If uncaught exception
is thrown -- it's bad application design or
malicious component( you cannot declare throws in function definition
so some evil component can do something like
" throw new ExceptionThatNobodyHandles(); // har-har-har!" .
You need to refactor in first case and
can do nothing in second -- if you'll start to free resources in
finally after each try-catch or always catch Exception,
your code will become garbage soon IMHO.
