I think your document would be a great blog post. I don't think it is 
very helpful as part of the standard documention, as it is more a 
collection of arbitrary facts about None than a coherent "big picture" 
document.

We could come up with such arbitrary lists for many other standard 
objects too:

"Did you know... that operator dunder methods should return 
NotImplemented to signal to the interpreter that the other operand's 
method should be called?"

"Did you know that Ellipsis is the sole instance of class ellipsis, 
reversing the usual convention that classes use InitialCaps and 
instances lowercase?"
