  <acronym class="acronym">GIN</acronym> assumes that indexable operators are strict.  This
  means that <code class="function">extractValue</code> will not be called at all on a null
  item value (instead, a placeholder index entry is created automatically),
  and <code class="function">extractQuery</code> will not be called on a null query
  value either (instead, the query is presumed to be unsatisfiable).  Note
  however that null key values contained within a non-null composite item
  or query value are supported.
