> As you say, we currently have only one usage of NotImplemented outside its intended purpose. Maybe we should wait to see whether it becomes at least a little bit more popular, before thinking about blessing it.

I'm thinking that it might be worthwhile to start a discussion about this on python-dev, to see what the others think about how the NotImplemented docs should be defined, and whether or not it should be used outside of binary operators.

Based on the feedback from Raymond and Vedran, I'm in agreement that it might not be the best idea in the long term to keep adding additional use cases to the documentation. But, it really doesn't make much sense to me that the constant is entirely defined around a single use case in the doc while we're using it for other purposes throughout CPython.
