 Whatever. There's no need for you to waste time on lecturing me on C++, I 
know it well enough, including the pitfalls. And I especially know well about 
C++'s NULL, I got enough theoretical lectures from gcc people while making 
them not bury warnings about incorrect NULL usage in the rather 
useless -Wconversion. The reality is what it is regardless of how much you or 
I like it.

 How about the patch? Are there any *actual* problems with it or can it please 
go in?
