The debate is not even over and you are already declaring a winner.
That's not really fair. Give the idea a chance and read until the end.

D'Aprano's argument is mostly "I don't encounter IndexError really often
and when I do I have this twisted one liner to get away it".

Well, that's not really a good reason to reject things for Python
because it's a language with a very diverse user base. Some bankers,
some web dev, some geographers, some mathematicians, some students, some
3D graphists, etc. And the language value obvious, readable, predictable
code for all.

Most people on this list have a specialty, because their speciality
don't see a use for the feature doesn't mean there is not one.

So I provided on my last answer an explanation of what I would use it for.
