That's not the point. The point is that if you couldn't
initialize this reference to null, you had to initialize it to
something else, so you would still get your race condition.
Note that it had to be initialized, and my patch to Cayenne was
simply to reorder that initialization.
The patch itself was ~5lines, and would have impossible to do
with a nonnullable (except with your Nil stuff, which once again
don't make any sens in a strongly type language)
