#!/bin/bash
#
# Usage:
#
#       finally <eval-string> <cmd> [args...]
#
# What it does:
#
#       (1) First, the <cmd> is executed with its arguments if any.
#
#       (2) Then <eval-string> is executed as it would be by eval in
#           the most global scope of the shell.  (It is actually sent to
#           the bash prompt's standard input as a list of quoted words.)
#
# Reason to exist:
#
#       If execution of <cmd> is interrupted by signal, the
#       <eval-string> will still run.
