Bug Description

CL-USER> (describe 'nil)
COMMON-LISP:NIL
  [null]

NIL names a constant variable:
  Value: NIL
; No value
CL-USER>

The type NIL (http://clhs.lisp.se/Body/t_nil.htm) is not described via #'DESCRIBE.

Digging a bit deeper, it seems that (sb-impl::info :type :expander 'nil) returns NIL, which prevents type information from being printed inside SB-IMPL::DESCRIBE-TYPE.

Have I really made this ticket on CFFI and not SBCL? Oh good gods, now that's embarassing...
