I also try to always write code to test 'if (x == YES)' rather than 'if (x)', as it will fail in more cases (and hopefully cause us to spot errors like that) if someone has done something like assigning a bitmask to a boolean.

Not a big issue, just a bit of coding style that I've found helps code reliability over the years.

...a more contentious style (but one I've personally adopted) is to write that as:
if (YES == x)
for the simple reason that the PEBKAC error:
if (YES = x)
is now a compiler error, rather than a logic problem.

Cheers,
Graham.
