Instead of using the None value for the members field, use a dedicated flag to detect recursive misconfigurations.
This is intended to assist with subsequent patches that seek to remove the "None" value from the members field (which can never hold that value after the final call to check()) in order to simplify the static typing of that field; avoiding the need of assertions littered at many callsites to eliminate the possibility of the None value.
