Well, a circle is a hollow dot. So SlashCircle. But a circle with a
slash through it is a Phi, or a NULL, depending on how big the circle
is. Can also be a zero. So appropriate names would be Phi, Null, or
Zero ;) Or... a Slash Circle is like a slash before a zero. But we
all know that you can't divide by zero. So the answer is Not a
Number. So call it Undefined or NaN or, if you feel like being a bit
unmathematical, Infinity.
Lame. I know. But I couldn't resist.
