Re: Why is [nil aMessage] a no-op?

This has been a great thread.

I wonder whether nil-eats-message makes me *more* sensitive to cases where nil really matters, because it frees me from having to clutter my code with trivial cases where nil doesn't matter. But I might be trying to rationalize a subjective preference.

I also wonder if programmers who have done a lot of SQL are less freaked out by nil-eats-message, given the way NULL behaves in databases.
