 Replying to [comment:23 pselkirk]:

 > > > 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.

 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.
