10849	Dereferencing null pointer in Point<>::dimension_checker::apply()	Steve Hickman <steve.hickman@…>	Barend Gehrels	"The following lines:
            P* p = 0;
            geometry::set<Dimension>(*p, geometry::get<Dimension>(*p));

indicate that the first parameter of the set<>() call will be a null pointer if it is evaluated before the call to get<>().

If this is intentional *and* you can guarantee that the get<>() call will always be made before the first parameter is evaluated, then it should be documented with comments inline. Or, better yet, split the code into 2 lines to insure *p isn't an attempt to dereference a null pointer and to insure that static code checkers don't think it is."
