It's not now.. but if None where to really represent the concept None,
as in not bound to anything, it would evaluate to nothing.
Given the statement:
a = None
And the following are all true:
a == None
(a) == (None)
(a) == ()
(None) == ()
Then this "conceptual" comparison should also be true:
if (None): == if ():
if (): == if:
Comparing if's like that wouldn't be a valid code of course, but it
demonstrates the consistency in which the comparison is made.
I think. ;-)
Of course this is all hypothetical anyways, so it could be what ever we
decide makes the most since, include not changing anything.
Cheers,
Ron
