I don't really understand what leads people to do
that. I mean, in C you wouldn't think to write

  NULL = printf("Hi!\n");

to discard the result of something, would you?

In other words, if even if someone is under the
misapprehension that None is a constant, that
doesn't explain why they should think they can
assign to it.
