Yeah and I don't much approve of all that either... how many 
unexpected crashes can be laid at the feet of objects being 
"segfault by default"? You're argument is basically "that's how 
it is, so that's how it should be." The proliferation of non-null 
invariants in our codebase begs to disagree.
