variable scope question

If a variable is declared in a try clause (directly under the try), is 
like in java, the variable is out of the scope of the catch or finally 
clause ? (Note : in the user manual there is nothing about Exception 
management).

It should be "nice" if try/catch/finally share the same variable scope :

e.g
// in Java
void doSomeThing() {
  OutputStream out = null;
  try {
    out = new ....
    ....
  } catch(IOException exc) {
    ...
  } finally {
    if (out != null) {
      try {
        out.close();
      } catch(Exception exc) {
      }
  }
}

// in Nice
void doSomeThing() {
  try {
    var out = new ....
    ....
  } catch(IOException exc) {
    ...
  } finally {
    if (out != null) {
      try {
        out.close();
      } catch(Exception exc) {
      }
  }
}
