I didn't say it was nonsense and I didn't mean it was nonsense.

I can see no reason at all why PyLint wouldn't warn about "breakless
for-else".  "raise StopIteration" and "if __debug__: break" *may* be
sufficient reason Python itself shouldn't be too noisy, but for sure
PyLint should warn about it.
