I believe this is a rebirth of a request that has come up many times before, which is to have something like javascript's `undefined` where it means "use the default value" if passed to a function that has a default value or "value not provided" (slightly different to "None").
def foo(x, y=1): ... return x, y
foo(undefined, undefined) undefined, 1
I've spent a lot of time writing JS code, and trust me, this isn't a good idea. Let's not go down that path. ChrisA
