In article <a0004p$jnc$1@nh.pace.co.uk>, Marin David Condic says...

It could be done. I think the only reason there isn't a Null_List there now is
that no one else thought of a reason why it would be needed. You could still get
by in the current scheme by assigning a new list to the existing one, or by
performing "To" on a null element array, but those solutions are a bit awkward.
