You're certainly write, as I acknowledged in a follow
up "suggestion for (re)try statement - correction'

Nothing "repugnant". We have in almost all procedural
languages an "if-else" construct, and a "case" or
"elif" as well. Same with "for", "while",
"do...while". It's all about convenience, not about
getting to bare bone equivalents.

So, I thought it's convenient to have the extra
functionality in the try statement, and am willing to
see what others think about it.

I'm not trying to convince anybody. In the democratic
state-of-mind in which I live, the idea will be taken
in consideration if it is found useful by many, not by
one, even if the one is the almighty Guido. Not that I
don't respect his opinions, or his work on Python, but
I think that "popular demand" should prevail. Not
trying to say that the "benevolent dictator", the
modern Franz-Josef, is not listening...
