Yes, I mean adding
if (str == null) {
return null; // or whatevers appropriate...
}
to a number of methods in StringUtils.
Currently this is +1, if still so tonight, I will make the changes.

Just want to be sure I understand. By "quiet", I understand you to mean
nulls are handled in some well-defined way other than throwing an exception.
If that is what you meant, then I am +1. Otherwise I'll wait to hear a
clarification :)
