Python used to be such a simple language, not so much anymore :-(
I quite agree, and I feel like this is my biggest reason why I don't
want this "feature" (or any of another gazillion features that have been
suggested and/or accepted here, including the walrus). The benefit of
this PEP simply does not justify the added complexity of the language as
a whole. Using None (or some sentinel) and including code to check for
it works fine. It's not worth it to add a whole new layer of behavior
to something as basic as argument-passing just to avoid having to type
`if arg is None`.
