I'm happy that you have a working mental model for for/else (seriously,
I am) but please don't discount the confusion and consternation for the
many folks who don't start with that mental model.
The number of times I have /wanted/ to use the for/else structure for
searching is small (and I remember them both ;) -- every other time what
I wanted was an _else_ that ran iff the iterable was already empty when
the _for_ encountered it.

D'oh. Completely wrong, but easy to guess because of the similarity
with if/else.

If you don't take the extra step of _break_ it is the usual case. Most
of my for loops always run all the way through, so why have an else?
Two possible reasons:
- the loop didn't run at all
- the loop didn't run all the way
Guido picked the one that was obvious to him (him being Dutch and all ;) .
I just read Nick's post about it, and while it helps, I think the
syntactic similarity between try/else and for/else (did the block run
without error) is dwarfed by the semantic difference: a try/else else
block runs if nothing /bad/ happened whereas a for/else else block runs
if something bad /did/ happen; to wit, the thing you were looking for
was not found (or your loop didn't run at all ;) .
But as others have said, this isn't going to change now, and I'm okay
with that. But, please, be a bit more understanding of those who don't
immediately grok the for/else and while/else loops.
