To give an excuse for the computer hardware people to change how it works.
Besides, if that's what you want to do, why do you need the concept of nullity? All you really need is a compiler that will return MAX_INT when you divide by zero.
MAX_INT? Not a very big number to represent infinity.
If it was the compiler that was doing the testing, then I might as well put the code in myself. I'm trying to avoid machine cycles by getting this kind of thing into hardware.
But in your previous post you said "The largest value possible for the variable type you're using." That's what MAX_INT is for integer types!

I'm don't see how the concept of "nullity" does that.
