This looks like a marked notational improvement.

With the patch:

[rhaas pgsql]$ git grep PG_CATCH | wc -l
     102
[rhaas pgsql]$ git grep PG_FINALLY | wc -l
      55

I'm actually a bit surprised that the percentage of cases that could
be converted to use PG_FINALLY wasn't even higher than that.

In theory, the do_rethrow variable could conflict with a symbol
declared in the surrounding scope, but that doesn't seem like it's a
problem worth getting worked up about.
