What are the advantages over this one?

I thought I mentioned?
1. It uses typeof(null) to _actually_ integrate with _null_,
instead of making up methods like nullify(), get(), etc.
2. It tries to do what C# does. (opEquals, opCmp, etc.)
It sounds to me like you address some bugs in the existing
implementation, And possible poor design/limitation of the early
days.
You should probably add 2 as a bug report, then you could have a
pull request to address them.
Item 1 would be a breaking change, though in my limited view is
the right direction. It would not be good for a pull request to
address both 1 & 2 together. Unless of course you end up with
more feedback contradicting such claim.
