On the bright side, if enough use-cases of this type come up (pesky try/except

sense that adding list.get().
It then would make sense to remove .get() on dicts. ;-)
and to remove parameter "default" of max().
and to remove parameter "default" of getattr().
Backwards compatibility, and performance, says no. ;)
try/except expressions are not a silver bullet any more than try/except blocks.
But they can still be very useful.
