Uhh, numericals are stored in a gnc_numeric object.  There is no NULL.  It's not
a string.  There's just no way to differentiate between an explicit zero-value
gnc_numeric and an "unset" gnc_numeric.

This is why I suggest an Invoice Report Option to choose whether or not to
display zero values as a number or empty.
