You can use COALESCE( age, 0 ) as age to have it return 0 instead of
null in the query.
Since SQLSS doesn't support NULL, I never return them, even on outer
joins. Our DBA says NULLable columns are slower anyway in MySQL.

Search the list: there is a thread about this giving a patch, and an
explanation of why you won't see it in the main distribution anytime
soon. (Short version: you have to break the ABI to fix this, so we
can't do it until v3.0, and there are many other things I want to get to
before that.)
