I was attracted to Python in 1998 because it seemed designed to make
the simple cases simple, and the hard cases possible.

My personal takeaway from this discussion: I will continue to advocate
for the use of Ellipsis as a sentinel in the *many* cases where it is
suitable.

For the hard cases, I will read the upcoming 46-page "PEP 973:
Parameterized Sentinel Factory Factory API" ;-)

Cheers,

Luciano
