Why is null lowercase?

[Leandro Motta Barros]

Hi,

In C, NULL is a #define, and #defines are typically all-caps. In D,
null is real keyword recognized by the compiler, and those are
typically lowercase. I am just guessing here, but I'd say the choice
for 'null' instead of 'NULL' is just to be coherent with this.

Personally, I kinda like 'null'. :-)
