Would that require that it be a keyword? I don't think so, couldn't it
be "just a name" in most contexts, like "True" was in py2, which did
work in ast.literal_eval()?
There could be a special bytecode that looks it up as a name, and
if that doesn't work, returns float('inf'). But then you might as
well make it a built-in name, which would behave almost exactly
the same way, and Guido doesn't want to do that.
