Phlip, I'm not an idiot, please don't pee on my leg and tell me it's
raining. In the very sentence you quote above, you clearly and obviously
single out None:

"None is typesafe, because it's strongly typed."

Yes, None is strongly typed -- like everything else in Python. I don't
understand what point you are trying to make. Earlier you claimed that
identity testing for None is type-unsafe (or at least *less* type-safe,
whatever that means):

"Note the fix also avoids comparing to None, which, as usual, is also icky
and less typesafe!"

then you say None is type-safe -- if there is a coherent message in your
posts, it is too cryptic for me.
