Dima,
	I know, Null<> has a number of shortcomings.  But rather than trying to
patch it, I'd replace it with boost::optional<> instead.  

The problem is, we're already late for the 1.0 train.  Over the next
releases, I'll try to replace it in a few places where it doesn't break
backward compatibility.  For the other places, I guess we'll wait for
the next overhaul (2.0, probably in a few years.)  The shortcomings are
not that bad anyway.

Thoughts?
	Luigi
