... It needs to add 'None' as an alternative to all other places where currently NAME occurs.
Fudge. None makes no sense anywhere in, e.g.,
dotted_name: NAME ('.' NAME)*
or
global_stmt: 'global' NAME (',' NAME)*
but I suppose it has to be allowed for in 2.3 anyway else an existing
import None.None.None as None
would yield a SyntaxError instead of a warning.
Note too that we can't change the generated code at all for 2.3 unless under the control of a new future statement, else existing None-abusing code could break.
