I understand the motivation for this change, but passing
pointer-to-pointer is unconventional in a case like this.  Unfortunately
I ran out of steam for the night before I could think about alternatives.

Regarding patches 01-18, I agree with Jonathan's comments and made a few
of my own.  I definitely don't think that code like "!(t = NULL)" should
stay in our code base as more than a transitional state.  But I'd have
to play with the alternatives before I can form an opinion on your
suggestion in this patch.

Thanks for working on this!
