[racket] try/catch/finally idiom in Racket

I use dynamic-wind for this. If there is something better, I don't
know what it is. dynamic-wind is a little bit funny though because if
you capture continuations then the in/out handlers can run multiple
times which might defy your expectations. You could set up a
continuation barrier on the inside to ensure that doesn't happen
though.
