 * Null Object pattern replaces null values with neutral objects.
 * Many times this simplifies algorithms since no extra null checks
 * are needed.
 * 
 * In this example we build a binary tree where the nodes are either
 * normal or Null Objects. No null values are used in the tree making
 * the traversal easy.
