My patch is clearly wrong. The NULL should be parallel to NOT NULL,
and ought just to be ignored (since NULL is the default). I think
it's worth doing (as the book says, NULL may not be the default on
your system, and anyway, it's always better to specify just for
clarity).
I think explicitly specifying NULL is probably good practice, so it
should be supported.
