No.

Once or twice, but ended up removing it, see below.

I always have to look it up, because to my mind, "else" implies
it does something quite different from what it actually does.
Which means that even if I worked hard at memorizing what it does,
so I didn't have to look it up, I still wouldn't use it in code,
because I want my code to be easily readable (including by future-me).
for..else makes code difficult to understand by anyone who doesn't
use for..else frequently: they might be misled into misunderstanding
the control flow.
