...
I propose to change these to be called checkNonNull(), so their null-checking behavior is obvious to readers of code, ...
An even better name would be ensureNonNull(), which captures the notion that if the method returns then the condition is ensured. Just a "check" leaves open the possibility of some less drastic behavior, such as merely returning a boolean.
(For what it's worth, the ensureFoo() pattern is already used elsewhere.)
