Whenever I've used the for-else, I've put a # no-break right next to it, to 
remind myself as much as anyone else.

for...: not break: is the best alternative I've yet seen, congrats.  Perhaps in 
Python 5 it can be enabled, with for-else: used instead for empty iterables, as 
that's what I expected the first few dozen times.
