Looks like my best bet is to mark it as deprecated and point

I would prefer to do something like this:
enum VK_NULL_HANDLE_0 = 0;
enum VK_NULL_HANDLE_PTR = null;
Then document it clearly. Alias VK_NULL_HANDLE to one of them
and keep it deprecated forever. Many users are not going to
read the documentation on their own initiative, so the
deprecation message telling them how to solve the problem will
save you from responding to the same issue again and again and
again.
Hm, I could do `VK_NULL_DISPATCHABLE_HANDLE = null` for the types
that are always pointers and `VK_NULL_NONDISPATCHABLE_HANDLE =
null ? IS_64BIT : 0` for types that are either pointers are
integers depending on arch, but those names are a bit long. Your
specific example wouldn't work.
