/// Compare pointer-typed values to NULL rather than 0

//# This makes an effort to choose between !x and x == NULL.  !x is used
//# if it has previously been used with the function used to initialize x.
//# This relies on type information.  More type information can be obtained
//# using the option -all_includes and the option -I to specify an
//# include path.
