I got ahead of myself, of course I meant Python (the *next* sentence was going to mention Haskell). The corresponding concept in Haskell is called Nothing, which lives in a type functor called Maybe. I don't have time to go into it right now but there is a notion among language weenies these days that the presence of something like None (in Python) or Null (in Java, SQL, etc) is a wart in a language and that it's preferable to have something like Maybe. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
