While there are competing ways to represent absence (`Optional`, "Null Object" pattern, method overloads),
it is unlikely that we'll be able to remove `null` entirely.

After migrating to Java 8, we can use pluggable type checkers to ensure that our annotations are consistent, 
and there are no missing null checks.
