Description:

Checks whether the tested item is Null.
Which null type the item has to be equal to depends on the type of game entity tested:

Note: A test via == does not work, because, for example, objNull is not equal to anything, not even to itself. Use isEqualTo.

Groups:

Commy2: isNull does not work with the TEAM_MEMBER type. Use this instead: _tmember isEqualTo teamMemberNull

Commy2: The note in the description does not apply to the CONFIG type, probably due to backwards compatibility.
configNull == configNull -> true
