So far, I have been too lazy to use try/finally/endtry. I guess
the point is that if the "do something" generates an error, then the
option is still restored? (Of course, my vim scripts never generate
errors. ;)
Another refinement is to avoid setting the global option. Use
&l:ignorecase to access (read and write) the local value of the option.
If the option happens to be global, I do not think using the "l:" prefix
will cause any problems.
