Que retournera MySQL si le premier paramètre de la fonction INTERVAL() est NULL ?

mysql> Select INTERVAL(NULL,20,32,38,40,50,55);
+--------------------------------------+
| INTERVAL(NULL,20,32,38,40,50,55)     |
+--------------------------------------+
| -1                                   |
+--------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> Select INTERVAL(NULL,20,32,NULL,40,50,NULL);
+--------------------------------------+
| INTERVAL(NULL,20,32,NULL,40,50,NULL) |
+--------------------------------------+
| -1                                   |
+--------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> Select INTERVAL(50,20,NULL,55,40,50,NULL);
+------------------------------------+
| INTERVAL(50,20,NULL,55,40,50,NULL) |
+------------------------------------+
| 2                                  |
