A category of relevant uses I can think of is when wrapping a function and storing the parameters it was called with for some later use. Some examples of this are logging, caching and RPC. Specifically for RPC, using pickle to serialize/deserialize the parameters and then call the function with them seems reasonable. RPyC[1] does this in some cases, though I haven't yet checked how it handles these kinds of sentinel objects specifically. I'll try to find a good concrete example.
