More precisely: All the above evaluate as Boolean false. But only one
of them evaluates to False: the object bound to the name ‘False’.

    >>> bool(None) == bool(False)
    True
    >>> None == False
    False
    >>> None is False
    False

    >>> bool('') == bool(False)
    True
    >>> '' == False
    False
    >>> '' is False
    False

    >>> bool(0) == bool(False)
    True
    >>> 0 == False
    False
    >>> 0 is False
    False
