Again, one of the most vocal advocates of the PEP gets the semantics wrong!
`spam?.eggs?.cheese?.aardvark` is NOT redundant for `
spam?.eggs.cheese.aardvark`. The two expressions simply do different
things, but in a way guaranteed to assure that also everyone gets the
actual behaviors wrong.
Hint, run this before each expression:
spam.eggs.cheese = None
