Arguing for a nilp function and where to put it

[Pedro Andres Aranda Gutierrez]

Use case for a nilp function:

I have a buffer-local variable with a default value, and I want to
allow to (silently) set it to nil (and only to nil) from
.dir-locals.el or Local Variables.

Currently I have

(defun nilp(v) (unless v t))

and I use it with

(put '<variable> 'safe-local-variable #'nilp)

which is much cleaner than

(put '<variable> 'safe-local-variable (lambda (p) (unless p t)))

every time I need it. I think other people may benefit from having
this simple function as part of Emacs and I'm not sure whether the
elisp form would be better than something more lower level like
integerp and in which file it would reside best.
