try:else: w/o except: - why not?

[Manus Hand]

I know that if you want to use else: on a try: block, you need to
specify one or more except: clauses.  I guess my question is why
this should need to be.

Personally, I have cases where it would be nice to do this:

try:
    # some code that may except
else:
    # but if it didn't except, I want to do this

Instead of writing the code that way, I need to write this:

try:
    # some code that may except
except:
    # and if it does, then, okay, just ignore it
    pass
else:
    # but if it didn't except, I want to do this

I know it's a core language decision and therefore up to Guido,
but I am curious (Guido?) if there is something I am missing that
would make a simple try:else: construction (without requiring any
except: blocks) not make sense?
