You may be right -- this has been discussed many, many times before. In
my personal opinion, the best (and only accurate!) phrase would have
been:
for item in sequence:
# block
then:
# block
IMO,
for item in sequence:
# block
nobreak: # or perhaps `if not break:`
# block
would be clearer (if the syntax is necessary at all).

You couldn't have "if not break:" because that would look like the start
of an 'if' statement.
"nobreak" would introduce a new keyword, but "not break" wouldn't.
