It used to check this pointer with an assert. When did it
change?
Actually, assert on a pointer to a struct or a reference to a
class checks for null _and_ calls the invariant, and that
hasn't changed. But you have to actually assert the pointer or
reference if you want to do that, and the OP didn't do that. He
asserted whether it == null.

Yeah... the cool thing is, that if the function does not need
anything from the referenced object, then the pointer
"degenerates" to a "namespace" implicitly... sorry, for strange
wording.
It seems that this behavior changed from 2.076.1 to 2.077.
