I completely agree. As a note, I can remind a
PEP 312 -- Simple Implicit Lambda. So with implicit lambda this is just

:None

For example:

do_something(a, visitor1, visitor2, :None, :None)

which roughly translates to:

do_something(a, visitor1, visitor2, lambda:None, lambda:None)

Is it right time to start PEP 312

Anyway, please refer to PEP 312 in PEP 336
