anything. No typechecking will be performed on assignments. Assigning
to it is forbidden, using it in any other kind of expression is also
not allowed.

Note that this is different from fteqcc's __NULL__ in that gmqcc
generates an actual empty global, rather than using the global at
offset 0 because it would overlap with the global RETURN variable when
dealing with vectors, which starts at offset 1. Setting a vector to
__NULL__ in fteqcc causes only the vector's x component to be 0.
However, its y and z components will contain the previous x and y
components of the global OFS_RETURN.
