If we're about to use a new keyword, it could be infix too:
a = b ifnone c
Although the assignment version looks unusual:
b ifnone= c
Then with the "default b = c" would look like this:
ifnone b = c

Operators that only vary by case would be... confusing. I'm not super keen on the other syntax (either the ?? or .? operators) but I do think they read well in C# where they come from. Different things work in different languages, some times.
What about a new keyword: default
So you'd write the above examples like this:
default hi = len(a) # Only executes the assignment if the left-hand is None default encoding = sys.getdefaultencoding()

I would think `||` would be much better.
It could be a kind of "semantic or" which could use the aforementioned dunder has_value.
-1, though, but to the general None-awareness.
