I'll agree with the latter part. But in my own code I try to be very
careful to use NULL for pointers, '\0' for end of string, and 0 for
numbers. Even though 0 could be used in all three cases, the different
forms make it much more clear what the type of data is that I'm working
with.

My two cents,
