Yeah, they can't be null _legally_.
Kind of like how in D you can't strip away const _legally_.
But the compiler doesn't complain if you don't obey the rules.
Well, D at least makes you jump through hoops to strip away const,
while C++ assumes that however stupid the thing you seem to be
doing is, you probably intended to be that stupid.
