It was what made me gag (as in involuntary screams of NO!) most when 
reading the K&R book.  I was having quite enough problems with nulls in 
places they weren't supposed to be in COBOL programs at the time (mainly 
down to records not being initialized properly).  The last thing I 
wanted was a compiler that actually inserted and depended on the things.
