For documentation I think explicit is better than implicit. Someone  
could assume that it's simply not documented. Though I was thinking,  
maybe "NULL parameters are passed" or something would be better. We  
could just say "NULL parameters are passed unless specified otherwise"  
in the documentation of the enum itself. Although the enum's brief  
doesn't seem to show up anywhere...
