Yeah, that's another way to do it.  I think though that the unresolved
question is whether or not we want the field name to appear in the output
when the field is null.  I believe that I intentionally made it not appear
originally, so that that case could readily be distinguished.  You could
argue that that would complicate life greatly for a _readPathTarget()
function, which is true, but I don't foresee that we'll need one.
