Changes between Version 1 and Version 2 of Ticket #18416, comment 3

15		If the intent of the if-test is to return `None` when the supplied value equates to `None`, then the if-test should be re-written as `value == None`, which would test for equality. The equality test is slower, though, so you'll likely find argument against using it in this section of the code. Oddly built objects with ~~__eq__~~ overloaded might also find trouble.
