Indeed.

Wasn't there a version of Fortran that allowed this?  Python is
not totally with a means of enjoying this adventure.

    >>> None = 1
    >>> a = None
    >>> if a:     
    ...     print "oh no"
    ... 
    oh no

That could be fun (or dangerous) in a Python project with lots of
developers.
