I haven't re-posted, but while writing up the implementation, I did add a section on implementation details to the PEP. https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0671/#implementation-details (FWIW, it's very similar to what you were saying in the other thread, only I chose to use Ellipsis, since it's commonly understood as a placeholder, rather than NotImplemented, which is a special signal for binary operators.)
