I've been thinking about exceptions a bit and it occurred to me that the 
catch and finally clauses are orthogonal.
I mean code in a catch clause runs conditional on a exception being thrown 
and code in a finally clause runs unconditional on whether there was an 
exception or not.

So i think using try only through something like the following macros would 
make the intend of ones code more explicit.

(defmacro simple-catch [maythrow & clauses]
  `(try
     ~maythrow
     ~@(map #(cons 'catch %) clauses)))

(defmacro simple-finally [maythrow & body]
  `(try
     ~maythrow
     (finally
      ~@body)))
