> > The one quibble I have is with the implicit test for NULL in
rdataset.cc and tsigrecord.cc. The BIND 9 Coding Guidelines say "Testing
to see whether a pointer is NULL should be explicit." But the BIND 10
Coding Guidelines are silent on the matter.

Over the past 25 years, I've argued both sides of this vigorously, but
I've been on the "explicit" side for long enough that the the implicit
just looks wrong to me now. That said, I'm more for consistency than
purity.
> Just checking: so is it okay to merge this branch?
Okay to merge.
