 None should be a callable object that when called with any
 arguments has no side effect and returns None.
 
+BDFL Pronouncement
+
+ This PEP is rejected. It is considered a feature that None raises
+ an error when called. The proposal falls short in tests for
+ obviousness, clarity, explictness, and necessity. The provided Switch
+ example is nice but easily handled by a simple lambda definition.
+ See python-dev discussion on 17 June 2005.
