9428
9428
It is a compile-time error for a class to extend, mix in or implement
9429
9429
\code{Null}.

- The \code{Null} class extends the \code{Object} class
9431
- and declares no methods except those also declared by \code{Object}.

+ %% Deep weasel talk here: The clean model would be to have a sealed top class
9431
+ %% `Any`, with `Null` and `Object` as the immediate subtypes. The only
9432
+ %% special rule we would then need would be that `Any <: Object?`.
9433
+ The \code{Null} class implements the same member signatures
9434
+ as the \code{Object} class.
