Can confirm, used null all the time in Rust. The raw pointers are important native Rust constructs, although they do skew to supporting C idioms as much as possible (e.g. `* const T` and `* mut T` is basically a worthless distinction within Rust itself).

So in other words, std::ptr::null is Rust's version of null for situations where you would actually use null in C, except in general Rust discourages trying to use it like it's C. Seems reasonable.
