     There's also the possibility that the result I obtained might
have been specific to the particular script engine (Nashorn), and
might be different from that obtained by other engines.  If the O.P.
had said "I get null; is that by specification or by happenstance?"
that would have been a better question (and would have showed some
evidence of energy on his part).  But ...

     O.P.: It yields `null'.
