It reads better than before. IMO option c) is definitely the absolutely superior option for the long-term health of the ecosystem, of that I have absolutely no doubt at all. Simply, if it's arithmatic on something that's not a number, and isn't an overloaded object, it should throw. But that seems like it's too far away... so I could *maybe* get behind subtracting from null becoming -1, but I really don't like it. It just feels so wrong, but the only thing that feels worse is that we probably couldn't pass removing null++, at least in the base version, and that may set up null-- as the least-worst option. -- Mark Randall
