With all due respect, that's a hairy nightmare and I wouldn't use it on 
principle (the principle is that anything with *that* many arguments is 
too hard to keep in my head while coding.)

Is there really no way you can simplify it to do one thing, that's hard 
to do without it, and do it well?

Just, perhaps, [try {} finally {}] ... that's simple, even I can 
remember that one, and have a reasonable guess at what it might do, and 
anything more complex occurs (say) in the 'finally' block.

(Oh, and before anyone asks, I don't think 
try/as/handler/return/on/finally would benefit from NULLs)
