Hello!
I think it will be useful in Python syntax if we can use "elif" in "for" and "while"
statements besides "else"
Example
for i in range(j):
...
elif i > 5:
...
else:
...
What you think about this change?
I sometimes with this feature (and also for "else" in a "try"
statement). This would allow to save an indentation level in some cases.
But:
1. "else" in a loop is confusing itself, and "elif" would confusing even
more.
2. We use the same keyword "else" with different semantic in different
statements. If we would use different keywords (like "otherwise" or
"afterloop"), combining it with "if" would not look more natural than
combining "else" and "for" into "elfor".
3. There are too small use cases for this. I need this maybe 1-3 times
in a year that is nothing in comparison of other uses of "else" which
cannot be combined with "if".
So I never proposed this idea. I prefer to keep the grammar simpler.
