> NP_BOOLEAN_RETURN_NULL says that returning null in a Boolean function is bad
> practice. It makes sense as it might be used in an if statement and lead to
> NPE. The functions reported on are isThisOrThat() functions and a possible
> solution is renaming them to getThisOrThat().
> A small further investigation of the solution and the semantics of the
> present implementation is required.
