> C++ has no finally blocks. Not in the standard, but there are compiler implementations (like Microsoft’s) that have added it.

  I just did a gh code search (__finally lang:c++), a hundred-ish instances shows up in ~12 repos mainly related to MS / .Net: ‎ sleuthkit/scalpel‎ ‎‎ microsoft/service-fabric‎ ‎ ‎dotnet/runtime‎ ‎ ‎microsoft/Detours‎ ‎ ‎dotnet/wpf‎ ‎ ‎Chuyu-Team/VC-LTL‎ ‎ ‎apache/logging-log4net‎ ‎ ‎microsoft/Windows-classic-samples‎ ‎ ‎microsoft/winfile‎ ‎ ‎dotnet/llilc‎ ‎‎ microsoft/DirectXShaderCompiler‎ ‎ ‎dotnet/diagnostics‎ ‎‎ SoftEtherVPN/SoftEtherVPN‎ ‎ ‎microsoft/PTVS‎ ‎ ‎aybe/Windows-API-Code-Pack-1.1‎ I don't think that it's in any way meaningful, it's literally unused given that it's been there for likely 20+ years.
