hm i misremembered and they changed it anyway
https://github.com/openbsd/src/blob/master/sys/sys/_null.h
openbsd used to define NULL as 0L for both c and c++,
then they changed it to __null if __GNUG__ and 0L and
(void*)0 for c++ and c, now it's even more complicated.
maybe it was some other bsd or solaris that used 0L
i remember looking at it last time we changed NULL.
