Actually, wouldn't this create an uninitialized nonce?  Do we want to set to
(0,0)?

[tguilbert, 2016/09/13 20:20:19]

It does create a (0,0) Nonce (and I have a UT to make sure it is set to 0). I
updated the comment, and renamed is_null() to is_empty().

Ok, yes if the ctor is called, so your test Nonce().is_empty() will pass, but
what about:

  Nonce nonce;
  nonce.is_empty()

sure you dont wan't a user-defined ctor to cover this case?
