els = FALSE);

can be indexed (see Extract) in just about any syntactically
legal way: whether it makes sense or not, the result is always NULL
.

can be changed by replacement operators
and will be coerced to the type of the right-hand side.
NULL
Is also used as the empty pairlist: see the examples. Because
pairlists are often promoted To lists, you may encounter NULL
being
promoted To an empty list.
Objects with value NULL
cannot have attributes as there Is only
one null object attempts to assign them are either an error (attr)
Or promote the object to an empty list with attribute(s) (attributes
And structure).
is.null returns TRUE if its argument's value is NULL and FALSE otherwise.
