avoid the name clash with Prelude’s null

[int-index]

C++ uses nullptr for null pointer literals: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/nullptr

This package could do the same to avoid a name clash. Or not. Just an idea.

Good idea. However, I think users could be unhappy if we dropped Java compatibility. What about overloading null so that it behaves like Prelude.null at function types, and like Data.NullPointer.null at other types?

Yes, Java compatibility is a must here.

I propose to ask for a rename of Prelude.null, next year on 1st of April.
