BTW, those are perfectly identical according to the C99 spec: NULL *is* either
defined as the numeric literal 0, or the very same cast to void*.
People forget though that char* x = 0 actually involves an implicit typecast -
just like they forget (or never learn in the first place) that a typecast in C
does *not* necessarily preserve the binary representation...
