This line treats "null" and null as equivalent for default values, however that is not the case. Having a default value that is actually the string "null" will fail when creating a new Codec.
To reproduce simply try goavro.NewCodec(sample) where sample is :
The above would pass if the union was defined with null type as its first element but that's a different case. This would fail as well if it was a simple string type.
