If for ... else was spelt more intelligibly, e.g. for ... nobreak, there
would be no temptation to use anything like `elif'. `nobreakif' wouldn't
be a keyword.

This actually doesn't work. I have been programming in Python for well
over a decade, and never before been in a situation where this would
be useful.
As YAGNIs go, this is right up there.
(For the record, since this was the last thing in the function, I just
made the break a return. Alternatively, an extra indentation level
"else: if name.isupper():" wouldn't have been that terrible.)
Your random piece of amusement for today.
