  Nothing

  A type with no fields that is the type nothing.

I guess, for the docs of Nothing, it should read:

A type with no fields with the singleton instance nothing.

or simply:

A type with no fields that is the type of nothing.

Thanks for tackling this. I think that learning about git (& Github) is an investment that really pays off if you are using Julia.
