Dear Sonar community!

Using SonarLint 4.1.0.201901311043 I encountered the following false positive: S1143 reports that return statements should not be used inside finally blocks even if the return is in a lambda function.

Quick example, where the line return obj.length() > 42; is identified as a return from the finally block, but actually it isn’t:

try {
    // do something
}
finally {
    List<String> list = new LinkedList<>();
    // do something with the list
    List<String> filtered = list.stream()
        .filter(obj -> {
            return obj.length() > 42;
        })
        .collect(Collectors.toList());
}

Expected result: this line should not be reported because it’s inside the lambda block.

Thank you, and I hope I can help to make this good product even better.
