Research direction
Start by reading the linked BPO issue 44123 and its migrated discussion; the payload names no source files, tests, or entry points. Clarify the intended singleton behavior for function-parameter sentinel values, then identify the affected library code and tests. Done means the specified sentinel values behave as true singletons with coverage for the intended cases.
