He already convinced some people. Just not some venerable Python devs, which
doesn't necessarily mean something at all.
Their response: "Oh, I don't need it, let's close it."
Arek: "But I need it."
So, who's right now?
By default, the venerable Python devs ;-)
Well, little bit arrogant? I hope technical arguments weigh more than
status here. ;)

It's okay. You don't need to reiterate that you don't need it.
I also don't need it when looking at my checked-in source code (but it
seems there are people who do).
But I remember using it in interactive sessions (damn, why didn't I
check that into git?). And there I remember finding it quite irritating
not having a return value at all.

Just gives me: nothing.
Of course, the period of irritation lasted short and reading __doc__
helped a lot, but, well, I could have saved me some time. You get the idea.
Cheers,
Sven
