John Barnes writes about a null record type, "The aggregate
for the (null) value ... can be written as (null record)
or even as (others => <>)." (Barnes 2006, p.146)

Is the latter part is now rubbed out by LRM 4.3.1(15),
so that (null record) is the one way to express a null
record aggregate?

(GNAT would be right, then.)
