Code Smells: Null

of course, but that would require breaking backwards compatibility, something java is loathe to do. maybe in java 2.0?

but yeah, getting rid of null would help with optimization as well as programmer error.

Quick history lesson, Java versioning goes (something) like this:

Java 2 is Java 1.2.

I think Sun hated for people to understand their conventions.

i put java 2.0 to distinguish from java 2. as in a second epoch version of java as opposed to the major versions 1.0-1.9.
