Can you make the doc string for the "uniquifier" field indicate that,
then, please? Presently it doesn't indicate that the field may be null.

The comparison a few lines further up of the whole representation_t uses
this form, which allows for the fact that if the pointers are equal, the
objects pointed to are definitely equal.

(And, for brevity, the comparison of the whole representation_t pointers
'a' and 'b' could use this form too:
