FWIW, I don't understand why we care of the case where the function
itself changes its mind to set values[i] to null while we ignore the
possibility that some module at remote is modified so that some global
variables to be NULL. I don't mind wheter we care for NULLs or not
but I think we should be consistent at least in a single patch.
