That's why I feel that none, true and false must be literals and keywords (not variables).

BTW this won't prevent True and False from staying in the language (till 3.0 :-)
and behaving exactly as they do now:

>>> True = False; False = not True
>>>
>>> False
True
>>> True
False

Only the output will be

>>> False
true
>>> True
false
