Yes.

The point of the article still holds, I think. You have your NULL class.
Does it help here? Don't think so...

   void f(string *);
   void f(foo *);
   f(NULL);

The problem doesn't lie with NULL itself; it lies with the poor design of
overloading these functions.

I've probably made a hash of describing the article. I'll butt out now.
