On: Python's pre-declared constants are kinda weird

A lot of them are also about nulls and == vs ===, which are weird, but they're weird in many langs. Like Python has the whole == vs `is`. You just learn the convention and use it. Same with typecasts.

Distinguishing object equality from object identity is not even remotely comparable to having implicit, unintuitive casts everywhere.
