Another script option to reduce the byte arrays, this is for nil...

•••

    | bytes obj newBytes |
    ASN1Module initialize.
    bytes := #[5 0].
    obj := ASN1InputStream decodeBytes: bytes.
    self assert: obj isNil.
    newBytes := ASN1OutputStream encode: obj.
    self assert: (bytes = newBytes).
