Seems like with another 10 minutes ore so you could make it so that
passing a NULL pointer in for either side of the id would just mean that
part gets ignored, so you only get the side you are actually interested
in.  It wouldn't force callers to break from convention but would allow
for things to be a touch cleaner in the calling function.
