Not just prefer, but needed to avoid a memleak.  Thanks for the good catch.

Also, I realized I don't do any negative test.  Maybe this test could be
expanded as:

v = visitor_input_test_init(data, "{ 'a': null, 'b': '' }");
visit_start_struct(v, NULL, NULL, 0, &error_abort);
visit_type_null(v, "a", &error_abort);
visit_type_null(v, "a", &tmp, &err);
error_free_or_abort();
visit_type_null(v, "b", &err);
error_free_or_abort();
