It is already technically nullable. But how do you signify to the
reader of the code that a class member in a struct or in a class
may intentionally (not purely technically) be null?
If I had written
class R {
:
S s;
:
}
with S being a class. The reader of the code cannot spot if s is
optional. In my code I could not have declared S as a struct
since it implements an interface.
