Null values, nil objects and collections
All constructors and setter methods acceptnull arguments.
 A null argument value means that the metadata element cannot be provided, and the reason for that is unspecified.
 Alternatively, users can specify why a metadata element is missing by providing a value created by
 NilReason.createNilObject(Class).
 Unless otherwise noted in the Javadoc, all getter methods may return an empty collection,
 an empty array or null if the type is neither a collection or an array.
 Note that non-null values may be NilObjects.
Unless the metadata object has been marked as unmodifiable and unless otherwise noted in the Javadoc, all collections returned by getter methods are live: adding new elements in the collection modify directly the underlying metadata object.
