Plenty of systems represent all values as strings, and "null" is the obvious (although probably not the best) way to represent a null value as a string.

Which systems do this? I could see situations where reading in a text file, you have might assume the value null is not the string "null". I am struggling to think of other situations.
Bash, C strings, URL query strings, and CSVs off the top of my head.
C definitely does not represent null as a string.
