Another attractive possibility is to make &null behave as the weakest or neutral element in every expression (as it is at least partly suggested by name), so many frequently used idioms shouldn't need initialization: x:+=1 as the most obvious one, but also m<:=!L, recently discussed put(x,1) and perhaps many others.

It's hypothetical opposite, &omega, the winner of every expression could have use also.
