	Empty product - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In mathematics, an empty product, or nullary product, is the result of multiplying no numbers.
		Its numerical value is 1 (the multiplicative identity), just as the empty sum — the sum of no numbers — is zero (the additive identity).
		Dually, in any category, the coproduct of any empty family is (up to isomorphism) the initial object of that category.

	Empty set - Open Encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		This is known as "preservation of nullary unions."
		Operations performed on the empty set (as a set of things to be operated upon) can also be confusing.
		(Such operations are nullary operations.) For example, the sum of the elements of the empty set is zero, but the product of the elements of the empty set is one (see empty product).

	nullary FFI's (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		I tried rigging prim.fun to get nullary FFI's to be considered functional, but that didn't get rid of them.
		Anyways, this came up because my translation from MachineIL was assuming that all FFI prims that were nullary had a destination.
		It's easy enough to generate nothing for the case of a nullary FFI with no destination, but I would think that some simplifier further back could also take care of it.

		OK, I know I'm late into this (things have been unsettled here --- big difference, I know), but: Peter Ashenden writes: In the Usage Guide, there are several uses of nullary functions, eg, <* 3+2 > == 5 I guess the general form is intended to be < expression *>.
		For example, is the phrase <* (x :: T1) :: T2 > a nullary* function value (read as "x contained in T1, and the result contained in T2"), or a function type signature (read as "the type of functions that map from T1 to T2").
		For a nullary function, the signature includes an empty parameter list and the return type.

		Similarly, we have a notion of the nullary intersection, that is the intersection of zero sets (meaning no sets, not null sets).
		Without a universe, the nullary intersection would be the set of absolutely everything, which is generally regarded as impossible; but with the universe in mind, we can treat the nullary intersection as the set of everything under consideration, which is simply U.
		Then De Morgan's laws, which deal with complements of meets and joins (which are unions in set theory) apply, and apply even to the nullary meet and the nullary join (which is the empty set).

		A referentially transparent nullary function has the syntax of a function, but the semantics of a value.
		In the special case where the function is nullary, you don’t need a map, because the empty list is the only key.

	Biproduct
		Note that if we take n = 0 in the above definition, then only the first condition applies, and we have for the nullary biproduct an object O such that the identity morphism on O is equal to the zero morphism from O to itself.
		But biproducts do not exist in the category of all groups; indeed, this category isn't even preadditive.
		In particular, a nullary biproduct is always a zero object.

	nullary _prim's (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		After elaboration, the MLton traverses the CoreML program (see core-ml/lookup-constant.{fun,sig}) and builds a little C program to print out the values of all nullary primitives (which must be of type bool, int, or word, for now.
		The upshot is that no pass after type inference needs to worry about nullary primitives.
		The code dependencies are a bit weird because LookupConstant needs to call gcc with the right include files, which are determined by Main.

		The creation order of CODE objects is not reliable once you get out of the current module, and even within a module can be unclear to the programmer once people start flinging various compile-time blocks and evals around.
