[Bug c++/34480] New: Argument packs treat __null oddly

[gcc at magfr dot user dot lysator dot liu dot se]

The following program fails to compile in c++0x mode:

template <class ... A> void* f(A... a) { return new (char*)(a...); }

int main() {
    f(__null);
}

Now, this doesn't sound that bad until one notice that this is functionally
equivalent with

#include <vector>

int main() {
    std::vector<char*> v;
    v.push_back(NULL);
}

and that used to and still do work perfectly well under c++98.

Note that if __null is replaced with 0 then it works so this suggests that the
__null case have been forgotten somewhere.
