Wes, sorry, but I really don't follow what you're saying. For example,

It displays 3 - while it appears to be silly code, there's nothing
about it that's undefined. So I fail to see how showing that example
anywhere would do anyone any good.
You can do the same kind of thing today via, e.g.,
class Bindable:
def __init__(self, value):
self.bind(value)
def bind(self, value):
self.value = value
return value
def __bool__(self):
return bool(self.value)
def __eq__(self, other):
return self.value == other
def __str__(self):
return str(self.value)
Then:
>>> x = Bindable(2)
>>> if x == 3 or x.bind(3):
... print(x)
3
And I wouldn't put that example anywhere in any docs either ;-)
