Dang, I would have said it does have a value. For one thing, in
if a:
print 'more or less True'
else:
print 'evidently not'
None doesn't follow the default, so it seems like "if" has discovered
some sort of value in there.
(But of course in any case, whether this is a value or not a value, the
value of the question is certainly in question.)
