C++0x introduces the 'nullptr' constant, intended to replace a literal '0' for
null pointers. Support for nullptr is being (has been?) added to gcc 4.6.
However, for backward compatibility reasons, '0' will remain convertible to
pointer type for the foreseeable future. As grepping for '0' is likely to be
unfeasibly noisy, it would be helpful if a warning could be enabled to detect
the use of '0' as a pointer type.
