Under what circumstances is null returned and why is it safe to ignore it? Is
the handling of null related to the lack of a default label on the switch? ie.
It is intentional that action is only taken with the 3 specified commands and
null is just in the set of cmd values requiring no special action.
The latter ie. the 3 specified commands, if null continue with the
processing with no special
action, I have asked for a clarification of the behavior of nulls in the
switch statement the
current stand from the coin folks is that a value for null will throw an
NPE.

It makes me nervous whenever I see "pretend this never happened" handling for
null.
