RFR: 8021591 : (s) Additional explicit null checks

[Martin Buchholz]

Overall, I hate these kinds of changes to be super-pedantically correct, at
the cost of a small performance loss and a small compatibility hit.  I
resisted doing them when I was maintaining these classes.  So there's an
edge case where an NPE isn't thrown - who cares?  Are there users asking
for this?
