cl-macs: case with a nil value

cl-macs: case with a nil value

[Glenn Morris]

(case nil
  (nil "nil")
  (t "t"))

-> "t"

(case nil
  ((nil) "nil")
  (t "t"))

-> "nil"

Does that seem weird to anyone else? Am I misunderstanding the magic
nature of "nil" (it's a list, it's an atom, it slices, it dices, ...)
again?
