David Majda 57e806383c Error handling: Use a special value (not |null|) to indicate failure ... Using a special value to indicate match failure instead of |null| allows actions to return |null| as a regular value. This simplifies e.g. the JSON parser. Note the special value is internal and intentionally undocumented. This means that there is currently no official way how to trigger a match failure from an action. This is a temporary state which will be fixed soon. The negative performance impact (see below) is probably caused by changing lot of comparisons against |null| (which likely check the value against a fixed constant representing |null| in the interpreter) to comparisons against the special value (which likely check the value against another value in the interpreter). Implements part of #198.
