explicit null param

is there a way to specify an explicit overload for null ? eg foo(object_a); // object overload foo(null); // null overload eg, equivilant to C++'s std::nullptr_t specifically to avoid

foo(C_A);
foo(C_B);
foo(null); // ambigous overload

foo(C_A);
foo(C_B);
foo(null); // ambigous overload

You can't have an overload specifically for null, although you can have an overload without the parameter entirely.

Why would you want this anyway?

could i use IntPtr as an overload for null ? for this

public void SetChildValueNull (string name)
{
    SkiaApi.sk_runtime_effect_builder_set_child_nullptr (Handle, name);
}

public void SetChildValue (string name, SKShader shader)
{
    SkiaApi.sk_runtime_effect_builder_set_child_shader (Handle, name, shader.Handle);
}

public void SetChildValue (string name, SKColorFilter colorFilter)
{
    SkiaApi.sk_runtime_effect_builder_set_child_color_filter (Handle, name, colorFilter.Handle);
}

public void SetChildValue (string name, SKBlender blender)
{
    SkiaApi.sk_runtime_effect_builder_set_child_blender (Handle, name, blender.Handle);
}

public void SetChildValueNull (string name)
{
    SkiaApi.sk_runtime_effect_builder_set_child_nullptr (Handle, name);
}

public void SetChildValue (string name, SKShader shader)
{
    SkiaApi.sk_runtime_effect_builder_set_child_shader (Handle, name, shader.Handle);
}

public void SetChildValue (string name, SKColorFilter colorFilter)
{
    SkiaApi.sk_runtime_effect_builder_set_child_color_filter (Handle, name, colorFilter.Handle);
}

public void SetChildValue (string name, SKBlender blender)
{
    SkiaApi.sk_runtime_effect_builder_set_child_blender (Handle, name, blender.Handle);
}

Rename SetChildValueNull to SetChildValue, and just don't pass anything to it. If you need to check for null at runtime instead, then you'll need to do it in every function.
