Well, p = NULL is more that just an issue of style, as Greg pointed 
out.  But even aside from that, I expect most boost authors use somewhat 
different coding styles and idioms for their working code than they use for 
code which is intended for public consumption. I know I use a different 
indentation style, choose and format names differently, and so forth.

But when the code becomes a way of communicating widely, sticking to common 
coding styles and idioms pays enough dividends to be worthwhile, IMO.
