Objective-C does something like this: any message sent to nil just  
answers nil. Whether you prefer that over the Smalltalk strategy of  
raising MNU for most messages seems to be a matter of taste.  
Personally, I think either one is viable, but I don't think it would  
be a good idea to do both. That is, if nil raises MNU, it should do  
so for almost all messages.
