I don't think special syntax is warranted for this. You can write:

try:
first = next(iterator)
except abdl.exceptions.ValidationError as e:
validation_handler(e)
except StopIteration as e:
return stop_handler(e)

I agree - and this is far more readable than any

of the propositions so far. (Like, for an order of magnitude).

I'd wait for Soni to try to explain why this would not

fit his use case, before proceeding with the

bikeshedding.
