There isn't much point in giving the type of null an explicit
name given that it doesn't come up very often, and typeof(null)
is quite explicit about what the type is. Also, anyone doing
much generic programming in D is going to be well versed in
typeof. They might not know about typeof(null) explicitly, but
they should recognize what it means when they see it, and if
someone were trying to get the type of null, it would be the
obvious thing to try anyway. And typeof(null) isn't even the
prime case where typeof gets used on something other than an
object. From what I've seen, typeof(return) gets used far more.

you're right but I see two cases:
- transpiling
- header generation
