with nil)
We should handle box.NULL the same way.
Closes #4454

2 argument?
2nd argument
Why does the error message differ for the two seemingly equivalent
cases? What's "1 argument"?
Note, in case of comparison with nil the error message is different:
| - error: '[string "return a > nil "]:1: attempt to compare decimal with nil'
| - error: '[string "return a < nil "]:1: attempt to compare decimal with nil’
When you say ‘5 < nil’ you get an error ‘attempt to compare number with nil’
However, when you say ‘5 < box.NULL’ you get attempt to compare number
with ‘void *’.
So I tried to be consistent. Kind of. And just leave the message as it is.
We can say ‘attempt to compare decimal with box.NULL`
or with `void *` if you wish.
