Of course, it is nice to know that that lookup(symbol) can return 
null, but that should be visible in the signature.

That can be covered by some "nullable/notnullable" or "optional" 
wrapper. Just follow some established coding guidelines for 
signatures.

I guess my point is: there is a big difference between 
documentation for a public API where the user is not supposed to 
read the code and internal relations in an application.
