One of the main reasons that I throw a NP when null is encountered is that you 
don't have to worry about i18n because 

throw new NullPointerException( "foo" );

already saids that foo was null and not meant to be. Whereas if I used an IAS 
you would need to add in i18n.

The big mistake that men make is that when they turn thirteen or fourteen and
all of a sudden they've reached puberty, they believe that they like women.
Actually, you're just horny. It doesn't mean you like women any more at
twenty-one than you did at ten.                --Jules Feiffer (cartoonist)
