Interesting. I think it should probably return a java-object-wrapper whose
contained object is null; it's not an unreasonable suggestion that
converting such a value to a boolean should return false. I'll think about
it. At present the effect of calling an external Java function that returns
null is not defined, so the null pointer exception, while unfriendly, is not
exactly a bug.
