The bug is actually a little deeper than that - True/False/None were
historically either not keywords at all, or pseudo keywords that were
permitted as attributes, but not as local variables. They haven't yet
been promoted properly to full keyword status in the language grammar
(even though the compiler already ensures that they can't be assigned
to or used as anything other than themselves).

Cheers,
Nick.
