In the following cases, empty string is returned:

import std.conv : to;
const(typeof(null)) ctn;
immutable(typeof(null)) itn;
assert(ctn.to!string == "");
assert(itn.to!string == "");

Also, writeln fails horribly when confronted with a const or immutable typeof
null:

import std.stdio : writeln;
const(typeof(null)) ctn;
immutable(typeof(null)) itn;
writeln(ctn);
writeln(itn);

phobos\std\stdio.d(1906): Error: no property 'length' for type 'typeof(null)'
phobos\std\stdio.d(1906): Error: no property 'ptr' for type 'typeof(null)'
.\foo.d(77): Error: template instance std.stdio.writeln!(typeof(null)) error
instantiating
