Lemme spin you up a different way of doing it, which actually looks
for the operators.

https://github.com/Rosuav/ExceptExpr/blob/master/find_except_expr.py

Run across the Python stdlib, that tells me there are 4040 uses of
is/is not, of which 16 compare against False, 18 against True (see?
Python has a bias for truth above falsehood!), and 3386 against None.
The other 620 are probably mostly sentinel objects, but I didn't look
at them.
