I got two reasons in the mind while committing that:
1) We would probably like to make some values of empty state non-zero in future.
2) In general, it's better to not assume that NULL is binary zero.
However, we assume that a lot in other places. So, it probably
doesn't matter.
Anyway, I thought about this as about just beautification. If it's
bad idea, let's revert this.
