That tip helped me :-)

test=# explain select * from mock where (b IS NULL)=true;
                              QUERY PLAN                              

----------------------------------------------------------------------
 Index Scan using b_is_null on mock  (cost=0.00..4.68 rows=1 width=8)
   Index Cond: ((b IS NULL) = true)
(2 rows)
