PR hail-is#9936 added hl.missing, which supersedes hl.null, and replaced instances of null(...) invocations in the documentation. However :func:`.null` instances in the surrounding text were missed.

https://hail.is/docs/0.2/overview/expressions.html#missingness says: > In Hail, all expressions can be missing. An expression representing a missing value of a given type can be generated with the [`null()`](https://hail.is/docs/0.2/functions/core.html#hail.expr.functions.null) function, which takes the type as its single argument. It then proceeds to show a number of examples, all of which use `missing()` rather than `null()`, which is confusing. PR #9936 added `hl.missing`, which supersedes `hl.null`, and replaced instances of `null(...)` invocations in the documentation. However `:func:'.null'` instances in the surrounding documentation text were missed.

hl.nullin favor ofhl.missing.Dan suggested that
hl.nullandhl.is_missingdidn't match well. Now it'shl.missingandhl.is_missing, which makes more sense.
