[Python-ideas] Catching the return value of a generator at the end of a for loop

[Stefano Borini]

I don't like it either. Ideally, I would want "returning", but of
course a new keyword is not an option for such limited use case.
"as" is probably much better, and the behavior of as in other contexts
is very similar.
