I support this addition because, while it's possible to mimic 
this behavior now, this makes code cleaner.

I will also post some rationale from the Python docs:

"The use of the else clause is better than adding additional code 
to the try clause because it avoids accidentally catching an 
exception that wasn’t raised by the code being protected by the 
try/except statement."
