lambda: is an expression and has a colon in it.
It would be weird to use except: without a colon IMHO, because we are already used to write except: with colon everywhere else...
Which is why there are alternatives listed, and the best four of them
(including the proposed one) ranked.
`value = (expr except Exception then default)` would be fine with me.
Do we really need to introduce a new keyword 'then' ?
I'm +1 on the original proposal (expr except Exception: default)
