They also seem to be unknown to a lot of Python programmers unfortunately; I’ve had PRs rejected because a for-else loop was “unusual syntax” and therefore considered hard to maintain.

I used one recently in a script and they're definitely not that readable. It always takes some time what "else" means in the context of a loop.

I feel like it would work better with a more explicit keyword, but I don't know which one. `nobreak`?

I hate the Python syntax using "else" for this, but I love the feature.

I've often wanted both a "then" and an "else" from both for and while loops. The "then" would be for a successful completion (no break), and the "else" would be for when the loop doesn't even run a single iteration.

But that didn't make it into our "language budget", unfortunately. It's easy to implement, but hard to argue for when it doesn't get used often
