Speaking as somebody who was there when the original decision was made, it was
the intention of the committee that you either:
1) Include a null.h include file that defines NULL, possibly having null.h
being protected by #ifndef/#endif (IIRC, this was actually discussed,
but it would be logical to do so);
2) Use #ifndef/#endif around the definition;
3) Define NULL using exactly the same spelling in each include file, in
which case it would fall under the rule that identical redefinitions of
macros using the same spelling are not treated as redefinitions.
