You're completely missing the context of the discussion, which was the supposed reason that a *new* function call operator, with the proposed syntax function?(args), that would short-circuit (based on the 'function' being None) could not be implemented. The whole thing doesn't make sense to me anyway, since a new operator could have its own sequence different from the existing one if necessary.
Right, I was clearly misinterpreting the wording in the PEP. It's a bit ambiguous and should probably make explicit that "evaluate the function" isn't just the common vernacular for "call the function".
