+This is a class for null file handles. Calling a constructor of this 
+class always succeeds, returning a new null file handle. Writing to 
+any object of this class is always a no-operation, and returns true.
+Reading from any object of this class is always no-operation, and 
+returns empty-string or empty-list, as appropriate.
+
+You could say:
+       open(NULL, '>/dev/null') || die "WHAAT?! $!";
+and get a null FH that way.  But not everyone is using an OS
+that has a /dev/null
