Yes I'd agree with that.  No more 'goto out'.

There is this also

    for (i = 0; ...)
    {
        if (something)
            goto found;
    }
    /* do stuff when not found */
    found:;

(yes I hate setting flags in loops ;-)

This translates exactly to the for: else: construct

    for i in xrange(...):
        if something:
            break
    else:
        # do stuff when not found

The last language I saw with this very useful feature was FORTH in
about 1984!
