Besides, what good is it?  One very seldom has to pass a null FILE pointer
to a function -- none of the stdio functions, the primary customers for
FILE pointers, accept one -- and that's the only place where the cast is
needed.  `if (f == NULL)' strikes me as no less readable than the equivalent
with NULLF, and it means exactly the same thing.
