Perhaps we go the inverse route and define the bottom type as
typeof(*null). Would that simplify matters? There is some good
consistency about it:
null: a pointer to anything. But can't be dereferenced.
*null: well, therefore... anything. But can't be created.
That sounds more like a top type, though, because as you said
it can be "anything". A bottom type can not be anything, but
only nothing.
It's the bottom.
Bottom is to Types, as Object is to Classes.
