`if-unless` expressions in Python

is an expression that roughly reduces to

An expression MUST evaluate to a value. EMPTY is spelled None in Python. No need for an alternate spelling.

The only place that None is implicit rather than explicit is the implicit 'return None' *statement* at the end of functions. That is enough.
