note 126918 deleted from migration81.deprecated by cmb

Note Submitter: noreplay at htotheo dot com ---- Passing null parameter when the type is a string/structure or any other pointer is saying there is no data in most C functions, which is a program language PHP is very alike. Which reason, besides "align with the behaviour of user-defined functions" is there to deprecate this? I mean, it takes me hours to fix this in my source, without being able to think of a logical improvement this brings. Besides people who like consistency, just for fact it is consistency, this just seems to give developers a headache. Ouch! Please get back on this decision!
