What about "nil"? This is how Smalltalk handles the conversion
of the only instance of UndefinedObect, nil.

In fact, I am starting to get acquainted with Ruby. And I would
like to know 'nil' is handled like 'null' in Java, or it has a
class associated (just like Smalltalk UndefinedObject) which
does not allow the creation of other instances?
