The Python spec allows implementations to identify immutable objects with the same value. Thus, in principle, two "()" created at different times can in fact be the same object. This would violate our use as a marker. Python specifies that mutable objects created at different times are garanteed to be different (as long as both exist). Therefore, you can use them safely as markers. -- Dieter
