I "kind of" agree, as that's what we've grown up with.  However, from a
defensive programming style, this is a far better approach.  A mistyping using
'=' will in 'NULL = pair' case cause a compile failure.  The other way around
will compile just fine with a nice ugly bug attached with it ... So I'm trying
to get used to his "flipped around" style.

Especially for OpenVPN, I believe a defensive style is very much appropriate.
