Hello Marc,

| Handling null values in the dictionnaries is a good point but why do
| you use a *null* instead of nil ?
| This make the code more tedious and will force user code to deal with
| pdf:*null* wich is not very nice.

It is just a matter of habit :-) Due to my limited knowledge of the domain,
I am not able to predict all situations where its null object is used. So I
prefer dedicating a parameter for it, like sql:*null*.

Naturally, I trust your experience if you say that nil will do.
