String is already a nullable type. 'null' (VB Nothing) is an acceptable
null value. What it (the type, not the value) doesn't give you is
cascading null semantics. For that (and many other more important
reasons), I wrote a compiler for a subset of C#, which added more
SQL-like null semantics to the string reference type.
