I used Python for years before understanding the for-else (and 
therefore, without seeing a use for it). Finally made the time to wrap 
my head around it quite recently and have used it a few times since.

It is a little niche, but when you want it, it is very nice indeed.  
Certainly avoids managing a special flag variable (which can be fiddly 
and therefore fragile) for "did my loop not run to completion"?

I sort of wish it had both "used break" and "did not use break" 
branches, a bit like try/except/else. But not very much.
