If the justification were "like fclose(NULL)", it have made more sense,
but fclose(NULL) does not silently turn itself into a successful no-op.
You are expected to check the returned value from the matching function
(i.e. fopen()) and do not call it.  So taking this patch alone, I smell
a bad design taste.
