So are you suggesting this?: X* x; // Ok, can be null X x; // Ok, cannot be null X? x; // Illegal If so, I'd have to strongly disagree. That would force the people who need nullability to muck around with the pointers and the extra level of indirection that implies, which will be far more problematic for them then if they just used a nullable non-pointer: X? x; We need all three.
