Hi Michael,

because I'd like us to save us the redundant NULL initialization in the
if-case.

I'm not saying any of the approaches are good visually, though. Who
knows, someone might have a better idea like, maybe "Oh, I wanted to
rewrite that code and this handlong is going to be different anyway ..."
or so. Or something to that effect.

Btw, please do not top-post.

Thanks.
