The Great Master Plan is to move the recognition of special cases for comparisons further down the compilation pipeline where more information is available. This is a first step into this direction: The special handling of equality comparisons involving null is pushed from the parser to the code generators, removing the need for a special AST node. (There are rumors from usually well-informed sources that this node type is actually a relic of ancient crankshaft days...) The next steps will be the unification of null/undefined handling and pushing the special case handling in crankshaft even further down the pipeline, enabling the recognition of cases like "var foo=null; if (foo === bar) ...", but these will be in separate CLs.
