If we don't adopt the enum I suggested, then I do prefer the naming of the
condition through a variable. It gives you a hint of what the check is looking
for, and not only what the check does.

I'd like to see the description for `slot` pushed into an enum, and make any
negative number except `-1` explicitly forbidden.
```c++
enum class NPESlot : int {
// docs here
None = -1,
// docs here
Explicit // Anything >= 0
};
bool get_NPE_message_at(outputStream* ss, Method* method, int bci, NPESlot
slot) {
if (slot != NPESlot::None) {
// Explicit search
}
}
