duh...  Sorry, my bad.

Use of the term "keyword" was causing my sleep-deprived brain to think it
couldn't be used in expressions.  Obviously, that's not the case.  All the
current keywords in the language either identify statements statements (def,
print, continue) or operators (or, and, in).  Elevating "None" to keyword
status would create a third type keyword.  Maybe it should be referred to as
a "reserved identifier" or something like that.
