David Beazley added the comment: I could have used this feature myself somewhat recently. It was in some code involving document matching where zero or more possible candidates were assigned a score and I was trying to find the max score. The fact that an empty list was a possibility complicated everything because I had to add extra checks for it. max(scores, default=0) would have been a lot simpler.
