Zero/nil/NULL/NUL/0/...

[Nathan Torkington]

I have read the FAQ and this doesn't seem to be what I'm after.  What I
am looking for is an explicit list of things which 0 (zero decimal, zero
octal, zero hexadecimal, etc) stand for.  So far I have :
  -> The number zero (in any base)
  -> The unused pointer (in some machines)
  -> The null character (ASCII, etc)
  -> End of file (EOF)
  -> Not true (FALSE)
