New Comment:
"most functions" : Returning NULL is not a general rule, thus it
shoulnd't IMO be documented globally such as in the docs for NULL.

Description:
------------
Most functions return NULL if their arguments are invalid. This should
be documented somewhere, perhaps in "Internal (built-in) functions". It
may be useful to document it in the documentation for NULL itself.
