There is a slight change in behavior, too:

Before, if (!one && !two) we would call contains(two, ...), and now we
will simply assume it is zero. Which I think is an improvement, as we
would have segfaulted before. I don't think it is a bug in the current
code (we would not ever feed the function two NULLs), but it is nice to
be more defensive.
