for-else

[bearophileHUGS at lycos.com]

So far in Python I've almost hated the 'else' of the 'for' loops:
- I have problems to remember its meaning;
- It gives me little problems when I later want to translate Python
code to other languages (and you always have to translate long-lived
code).
- I have used it only once, so far.

So so far I'd liked to see it removed from Python 3.0.

But then this article:
http://tratt.net/laurie/tech_articles/articles/the_high_risk_of_novel_language_features
has shown me that my problems with the 'else' of the 'for' mostly come
from just its bad naming. The converge language is yet another very
Python-like language, and it uses a better naming (the word
"exhausted" is long and has a complex spelling for non-English
speakers, so it's not perfect):

for ...:
    ...
exhausted:
    ...
broken:
    ...

The meaning is explicit. While "else" seems to mean little there.
So I may like something similar for Python 3.x (or the removal of the
"else").
