I think it would have to translate to something like

  _temp_semaphore = object()
  def func(arg, x=expression, y=_temp_semaphore):
    if y is _temp_semaphore:
      y = expression

    ...

because there are times you want to be able to pass None as a legit
value in such a case (speaking from the trenches after getting stung
by exactly that case on multiple occasions).
