`for` grammar: support `else on` and `else for`
Metadata
Current evaluation
Enhancement to support `else on` and `else for` statements in the `for` grammar, extending the existing `else` clause. Triaged by maintainer and tracked in Jira (CRAFT-4744); not yet implemented in the processor.
Suggested action: keep open
Reason: Triaged enhancement (Status: Triaged label, authored by maintainer lengau) with an internal Jira ticket CRAFT-4744, indicating active tracking. The requested `else on`/`else for` syntax is not yet implemented — `_processor.py` only defines `_ELSE_CLAUSE_PATTERN` (bare `else`) and `_ELSE_FAIL_PATTERN`, and `_handle_else` only attaches to `on`/`try` — so it remains a valid open feature, not stale-irrelevant.

craft-grammar#134
(confidence 70%)
Prior issue for basic `else` in the for grammar; closed and the base `else` clause was implemented in PR #137. This issue extends that to `else on`/`else for`, so it is related but not a duplicate.
Related issues
| Issue | Project | State | Summary | Similarity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| #134 `for` grammar: support `else` statement | craft-grammar | closed | Closed without implementation. No resolution or merge details were provided. The enhancement to add an else statement to the for grammar appears abandoned after initial triage and Jira synchronization. | |
| #137 feat(for-grammar): add an 'else' clause | craft-grammar | merged | Merged. Adds an else clause to the for grammar, matching to grammar behavior without recursive processing. Approved by two reviewers, passed CI checks, and resolves #134 and CRAFT-4768. |
