Quite off-topic, but still worth mentioning ;-)

Why people refer to '\0' as ``NUL'' but not ``NULL'' ??
NUL is a bogus "device" thingy under Billy's early OSes.
While there is such thing as ``nil'', NUL seems like something that does
not quite belong to UNIX world...

Fascinating: quite a few our manpages make use of ``NUL'' though...

Just my $.02
