And change the other six occurrences?

We can then also flip from:

if not val:
    ... # do when no val
else:
    ... # do when val

To:

if val:
    ... # do when val
else:
    ... # do when no val

And can these be called when val is something that is not None or dict, but still evaluates to false here? And if so, does it behave correctly?
