Currently 'break' and 'return' are never used inside 'finally' clause in the stdlib.

See the _recv_bytes() function:

Lib/multiprocessing/connection.py: 316

I would want to see a third-party code that uses them.

These are the only ones I found so far:

./gevent/src/gevent/libev/corecffi.py: 147 ./gevent/src/gevent/threadpool.py: 226

I have an AST walker script that finds them.
