PL/pgSQL - args passing

Is it possible to pass the NULL value to PL/pgSQL function? More precisely,
I have a function like

CREATE FUNCTION test (text,int4) RETURNS int4 AS '
   Begin
      ...
   End;
' LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';

and typical call is

select test('Word',1);

which works fine. But sometimes I need to call this function with
arguments like

select test(NULL,1);    or
select test('Word',NULL);

Now such calls lead to
ERROR:  typeidTypeRelid: Invalid type - oid = 0

Any ideas?
