This makes many people's lives difficult.  It's kinda bogus that if I
pass in the address of a pointer-to-NULL and receive back a YES that I
have to turn around and re-NULL that pointer before reusing it.  Many
AppKit methods have a tendency to set the *error argument to 0x8 when
they return YES, causing havoc with our error-wrapping macros.
