Only if "None" is not a proper value from .get().
And this doest solve the problems with more general callbacks that are
not trying to get a value (cf Django lazy_gettext).
Besides, "??" does not exist yet for Python, so let's counter the
argument for lazy with the potential benefits of something we don't have
ATM.
A proposal is already hard enough to defenD on Python-ideas :)
