Passing it to templates, where the type has to be inferred to 
something at a point where it is not yet clear what the value 
will actually be assigned to – without a special type for null, 
its implicit conversion properties would be lost. There certainly 
is a bug report about this, in the 5xxx range if I remember 
correctly.
