On latest Julia master, I see this:

julia> promote_type(Union{Void, Null, Int}, Float64)
Union{Nulls.Null, Float64}

It seems to be due to this definition, as removing it fixes the problem:

Base.promote_rule(::Type{T}, ::Type{Union{S,Null}}) where {T,S} =
    Union{promote_type(T, S), Null}

On Julia 0.6, this returns Any. I'm not sure when it changed on master but that's the first time I notice this. Is that a Julia bug?

@JeffBezanson Would you say this is the correct behavior for Julia?
