I've already used "No value" 25 years ago, as many times as I needed.

NoValue was simple out-of-range or illegal value that used to flag specific variables for specific purpose. That's what Rob did.

The ability to assign NULL to an object - complicates Euphoria.

An average skilled programmer don't need it. Objects can be flagged as null in too many ways.

I don't care/need to add: i = is_null(x), i = is_empty(x), etc. But assign null "value" to an object is looking for more complications and unmaintainable code, while it is not truly necessary.

Same as 'goto' - "nulling" objects may lead to vertigo while maintaining a program.
