Description

`return` inside `finally` block will result in losing exception:

• If the finally block completes abruptly for reason S, then the try statement completes abruptly for reason S (and the throw of value V is discarded and forgotten).
• If the finally block completes abruptly for reason S, then the try statement completes abruptly for reason S (and reason R is discarded).
