  Description
 
    NIL represents the value of a pointer that explicitly points
    nowhere. It is assignment-compatible with every pointer type. The
    only legal uses of NIL are the following:
 
      ■ Assignment to a pointer variable to indicate that the variable
        points nowhere
 
      ■ Comparison to a pointer variable (using <> and =) to see
        whether the pointer variable points anywhere
