If the 2nd, it's not always true. ;-) Imagine having a lot of things to call at cleanup, you might end up with loads of try/finally's. It's then better to 'enforce' a strict contract of suppressing exceptions in the actual sub-cleanup methods. And that's exactly what we do here. But, since it's only a single sub-cleanup call, I'll put it in try/finally (I actually already did this :-). The order doesn't matter.
