Why all these competing pull requests? It does feel like my original patch has 
been hijacked.

Also, before any more PRs, we need to decide whether to use subroutines or code 
duplication for finally blocks.

Here is my attempt at an objective comparison of the two approaches.

                       JSR style           Code duplication
Speed                  Slower              Faster
Interpreter            More complex        Simpler
Bytecode generation    Simpler             More complex
Bytecode size          ~ +0.1%             ~ +0.4%

The increase in bytecode size is insignificant in terms of overall memory use, 
but the performance increase is significant (although small).

Unless I have missed anything important, this says to me that the code 
duplication approach is better.
