   GIN
  
  assumes that indexable operators are strict.  This
  means that
  
   extractValue
  
  will not be called at all on a null
  item value (instead, a placeholder index entry is created automatically),
  and
  
   extractQuery
  
  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.
