English abstract:
Performing cleanup actions such as restoring a
variable or closing a file used to be impossible to
guarantee in Forth before Forth-94 gave us
catch. Even with catch, the cleanup
code can be skipped due to user interrupts if you
are unlucky. We introduce a construct that
guarantees that the cleanup code is always
completed. We also discuss a cheaper implementation
approach for cleanup code than using a full
exception frame.
