Oops. In that last email, replace all occurrences of "DefaultNodeImpl" with
"DefaultInfoImpl". For some reason the wrong file name was in my head.

2) This problem can be fixed with two lines :) But I leave it up to the
others on this list to decide if this is the _best_ fix, and to decide
on what the non-null string value should be...
Actually, as I thought about this on my ride home, I realized that changing
DefaultInfoImpl.toString() is probably not the best fix. To be consistent with
GENERATED ALWAYS columns, which return null as the default, GENERATED BY DEFAULT
should probably return null, as well. This means that the method that should
change is UserType.isNull().
Something like:
public final boolean isNull()
{
if (value == null)
return true;
if (value instanceof DefaultInfoImpl)
return (((DefaultInfoImpl)value).getDefaultText() == null);
return false;
}
