hair stand up.
PTR_TO_NOTHING?
PTR_TO_0BYTES?
PTR_TO_0SIZE?
PTR_TO_ZERO_SIZE?
NOT_QUITE_NULL? :-)
Particularly like that one. Wouldn't object to that at all. Hey, they tell
us it's just some inconsequential internal thingy anyway... :-)
FULL?
Almost as nice. DULL? BULL?
NOTHING?
EMPTY? <-- nice one as far as I'm concerned.
