If the finally block is executed in both cases, whether the exception is
thrown or not, what is the point in having a special construct for it at
all? Surely this is functionally equivalent:

try {
  doSomething();
  doSomethingElse();
  areWeDoneAlready();
}
catch (SomeKindOfException) {
  kaboom();
}
cleanup();

Is there any type of circumstance where a finally block actually brings
something to the table?

What if AnotherException is raised?
