I think your arguments for NotImplemented vs None or () are solid. But I'm having trouble crossing my eyes in just the way that will make those words fit the purpose. What about instead subclassing NotImplemented as maybe NoIndex? That would make sense in reading, and have the same favorable characteristics. Moreover, being a brand new class, we can be certain no one is already using it.
