Actually DMD has the restriction, that a catch in not allowed within a
finally block.

A very simple workaround:

try{
}
catch( Exception e){
}
finally(
  void block(){
    try{
    }
    catch( Exception e){
    }
  }
  block();
}

This is OK for the compiler.
I don't know the reason for this restriction, but
isn't it possible to get rid of it?

another option:

  try
  {
  }
  catch( Exception e)
  {
  }
  finally
  {
	// delegate literal
    (){
      try
      {
      }
      catch( Exception e)
      {
      }
    }();	// called directly
  }
