IOW, a vacuous defvar: no value initialization.



In Emacs Lisp, the symbol nil has two meanings. First, it means the empty list. 
Second, it means false and is the value returned when a true-or-false-test 
tests false.

Or to say: nil means false, but false is more than nothing :)

Cheers,

Andreas
