3) Should it be an exception, or just inherit from object? Is it worth worrying about somebody trying to raise it, or raise from it? If it's not actually an exception, we get prevention of instantiation for free. My feeling is just make it a singleton object.

Yeah, a new Ellipsis/None style singleton probably makes more sense than an exception instance.

Cheers, Nick.
