  except that NULL must be casted to a pointer type (in the case
  it is not a pointer), or something equivalent.
  
A properly declared NULL should work in any context, I think.
But we would need to instruct people to #include stdlib.h
before gmp.h in modern C, and stdio.h in classical C.

Defining NULL ourselves is no option.
