gollark: Ugh. Yes.
gollark: `is` tests object identity (in CPython, "same memory location") or something and not, well, actual equality, so it's just bizarre and esoteric and does *not* need its own operators.
gollark: I'm aware `is not` is a single operator. It's just vaguely weird.
gollark: ```python>>> 'something' is not NoneTrue>>> 'something' is (not None)False```python.
gollark: This is far inferior to osmarkssystemd.
