I guess there might be implementations of std::string that check for 
non-NULLness of the passed pointer. However the c++ standard doesn't seem to 
specify behavior in that case. In the particular case of the basic_string 
constructor with a char* parameter, it is specified that the pointer shall 
not be NULL (http://www.kuzbass.ru:8086/docs/isocpp/lib-strings.html, section 
21.3.1)
