/**
 * Checker for nullability errors. It assumes that any field, method parameter, or return type that
 * may be null is annotated with {@link Nullable}, and then checks the following rules:
 *
 * <ul>
 *   <li>no assignment of a nullable expression into a non-null field
 *   <li>no passing a nullable expression into a non-null parameter
 *   <li>no returning a nullable expression from a method with non-null return type
 *   <li>no field access or method invocation on an expression that is nullable
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>This checker also detects errors related to field initialization. For any @NonNull instance
 * field <code>f</code>, this checker ensures that at least one of the following cases holds:
 *
 * <ol>
 *   <li><code>f</code> is directly initialized at its declaration
 *   <li><code>f</code> is always initialized in all constructors
 *   <li><code>f</code> is always initialized in some method annotated with @Initializer
 * </ol>
 *
 * <p>For any @NonNull static field <code>f</code>, this checker ensures that at least one of the
 * following cases holds:
 *
 * <ol>
 *   <li><code>f</code> is directly initialized at its declaration
 *   <li><code>f</code> is always initialized in some static initializer block
