C#: New nullable syntax

Anders Hejlsberg, et al., shared with the MVPs in April about extending the C# syntax to support nullable value types. In essence, int? maps to Nullable<System.Int32> just as int maps to System.Int32. They also introduce a ternary ?? operator such that x ?? 0 means (x != null) ? x : 0. Very interesting. They got some howls but I hope this goes through. It's a baby step to X# bliss. [Via Ted Neward on TheServerSide.NET]
