Summary: __reduce__ does not work as documented

Initial Comment:
The documentation for __reduce__ says that the second
element of the returned tuple can either be a tuple
of arguments or None.  The copy module does not handle
the None case:

  class C(object):
    def __reduce__(self):
        return (C, None)

  import copy
  copy.copy(C())
