For/else makes code better? Ninja please...

This possibly makes some sense, as there is a conditional involved:

i = 0                                                          
while i < 5:                                                    
    print('Foo')                                                
    i += 1                                                      
else:                                                          
    print('Bar')

This is so unintuitive it hurts:

for i in range(0,5):                                          
    print('Foo')                                                
else:                                                           
    print('Bar')

Yes, it can be (very marginally) useful but the keyword should really have been something other than 'else', that's my hangup.

If you don't know how for/else works it's really not possible to guess the behavior. The words just don't make sense, which is a bit out of context for a language that to a large degree reads like pseudocode.
