I agree that "implicit" does not mean "code that one dislikes." The intent is "delete entry if key exists." Is that implicit or explicit?
Positing a default value to discard it as a return value is, arguably, what makes the intent of that construction implicit. I say "arguably," because that is the material that is under consideration (not whether one likes it). _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/QUUSEVRE3NKLLRATFXOZAKYXZPGLGPLZ/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
