It's a point, but not a good point...

TYPO3 never made it clear about the ability of passing NULL as a  
'value'.
it does indeed say array, but it's not clear of not allowing to pass  
NULL.
Since NULL's where always accepted by the core, a developer can only  
assume it was allowed.

I still like The idea of Ernesto.

I don't understand what it has to do with the threads context.
