There's a school of thought that writing comparisons with a constant
like this prevent errors whereby one uses "=" instead of "==": any
reasonable compiler will yell bloody murder if you say "NULL = foo",
while "foo = NULL" might go unnoticed with some compilers.
However, it looks like the fragment I was patching is the only one
which uses this notation in the while cli directory, so perhaps it's
okay to swap the identifiers to the more traditional form.
