// BAD: This will cause an error in code when foo is undefined
if (foo) {

// GOOD: This doesn't cause any errors. However, even when
// foo is set to NULL or false, the condition validates as true

// BETTER: This doesn't cause any errors and in addition
// values NULL or false won't validate as true

// UGLY: we have to proof existence of every
// object before we can be sure property actually exists
