Well, I'm assuming he did want to when he did it, but that he doesn't
want to after reading the syntax warning... (then again English isn't my
first language <wink>). How about: "the compiler informs you that you've
just rebound the name 'None' which has a high probability of being an
error..."?

Nor any other identifiers...
