I can't conceive of anyone using None as a function name or a variable
name, except through a bug or thinking that 'None, useful, None =
1,2,3' works. Even though None isn't a fixed constant, it might as
well be. How much C code have you see lately that starts with int
function(void *NULL) ?
Being able to do "None = 2" also smacks a bit of those legendary
Fortran compilers that let you accidentally change 2 into 4. +1 on
this change for Py3K, and I doubt it would cause breakage even if
introduced into 1.x.
