- Try except finally blocks
I can support this one, I am surprised it is not already supported.
Wasn't this mentioned in another recent thread as existing? Does it
exist in at least Delphi mode?
This is not supported and the last time it was discussed here on the mailing
lists it was shot down (though I can't find the thread currently...).
Also why should it exist in Delphi mode when Delphi does not support it?
(Yes, there are some features that work in Delphi mode that Delphi doesn't
support, but in generic the purpose of mode Delphi is to support Delphi
code)
From my searching it is in (newer?) Delphi. I can't admit to being a
huge fan of "finally" (I don't typically use it myself) but I am
interested in why it is not supported.
At least Delphi Tokyo (10.2) does not support it.
If I remember the discussion correctly it came to light that some users
would need "try … finally … except … end" while others would need "try …
except … finally … end" and even some "try … finally … except … finally
… end" or the like. With differences in opinion like this the idea was
dropped, cause this flexibility exists already, namely by using separate
blocks.

Sven
