[issue41272] New clause in FOR and WHILE instead of ELSE

[Vedran Čačić]

Vedran Čačić <vedgar at gmail.com> added the comment:

I completely agree that we should reject this, but you commit a very frequent mistake in programming try-expressions. The problem is, if the first option contains a NameError, second option will be executed.

It should be:

    try: i001
    except NameError: <loop never executed>
    else: <loop executed at least once>

And similarly for break001. You see, dependent `else` is needed sometimes. But of course Guido already covered this. :-)
