easy to miss bug (even in structured debug)

I occasionally worry about bugs resulting from passing NULL pointers
rather than pointers to objects. The 'fetch' operations make this
especially easy. I check these by considering the types {Foo *|NULL}
different from {Foo*} when I walk through the code in my mind.
Is there an anolgous scheme for structured debug? Can we add this
stronger type-checking in xlint?
thanks,
