Support 'nil' keyword as syntactic sugar for '0'

[Skaruts]

In the same way the text editor recognizes true and false as keywords, it could also recognize the keyword nil.

Personally I already use nil for setting variables as null, just because it makes them stand out from other variables that are actually numeric. The only thing I feel is missing is having nil in a color that stands out, like true and false do.

I've been misunderstood about this before, so I should make it clear: I'm not asking for a null type to be added to microscript. I'm suggesting that the text editor could recognize and highlight a keyword.

As you know already, microScript was designed to avoid any use of nil, null, none or undefined ; I understand your request but I am reluctant to add more keywords to the language, even if it is just for syntax highlighting. I have two suggestions for you:

• either use false to initialize your variables (false == 0)
• or maybe you could define NIL = 0 in your code and use it for that purpose (caps make it stand out maybe!)
