If accepted, this would also solve the feature requests for various
functions to have default arguments.
For example:
x = min(seq) except ValueError else 0 # default to zero for
empty sequences
It would also be helpful in calculations that have algebraic
restrictions:
sample_std_deviation = sqrt(sum(x - mu for x in seq) / (len(seq)-1))
except ZeroDivisionError else float('Inf')

Yes, exactly the situations I keep coding around.
