This reminds me -- another small change that the ANSI Standard committee
might want to make in C is to make NULL be a real synatctic object, so that
we don't have to do dumb-looking (and usually forgotten) things like:

foo( (char *)NULL );

After all, the use of NULL in software has become part of the de facto C
standard.
