Yeah you are probably right, my suggestion seems to come from a
different avenue than the others here.
It's probably because personally I've never used library method to do
such simple null checks; it might have fixed a few bugs for me along
the road, but I just prefer to check such things locally than add in
the overhead of a method call.
