If you write the code in a way that some pointer should never be NULL,
it is not a good idea to check for it and then silently ignore the
NULL. When the pointer is suddendly NULL although it should never be,
the program *should* crash - otherwise it is then in an undefined state
and keeps running, and that could result in even worse things.
