Hmm, after writing up that list, the idea of using "cause is Ellipsis" (or even "cause is ...")to mean "use context instead" occurs to me. After all, "..." has the right connotations of "fill this in from somewhere else", and since we really just want a known sentinel object that isn't None and isn't a meaningful type like the boolean singletons...

It's cute yet seems appropriate ... I quite like it.

I find it very amusing, yet also appropriate -- I'm happy with it.
