FWIW, I like this.  It would be a nice addition to the itertools module. +1

The `key` argument should be renamed to `pred`, as others have said.

As to the name, I like "first_true".  Does what it says.  Plain "first" is misleading, and "coalesce" is both inscrutable and nearly impossible to spell ;-)
