I think we pretty much all agree on that. However, you did see the note about the difficulty of using default parameters in built-in functions, right? I ultimately ended up with 4 constructors, each with the same name but 0, 1, 2, and 3 parameters.

I would lean toward parsing the NULL as a special keyword, and then rejecting it (does it matter if it's upper case?).
