While None/NotImplemented/Ellipsis are all documented as singletons,
the behaviour of calling their types is not specified anywhere. If
this was to be detailed anywhere, then the sections on
None/NotImplemented/Ellipsis in section 3.2 of the language reference
would be the place.

And on that note... was there any particular reason for leaving
NotImplemented out for this change?

Cheers,
Nick.
