My original intent was to know if using boolean conditionals to
evaluate NULL would possibly be unadequate to run on some systems
thus rendering the code less portable. I will drop the topic as
with all the posts people contributed I think I had a satisfactory
answer, I am sorry if any of you have been bothered by this.
