Description

What happened?

We have the following conjure type:

  AndSearchFilter:
    docs: |
      A SearchFilter used to combine multiple SearchFilters.
      A row satisfies this SearchFilter if and only if it satisfies all combined SearchFilters.
    alias: set<SearchFilter>

And we have enabled the nonNullCollections flag to enforce that the set cannot contain null entries. However, this is not being enforced.

What did you want to happen?

Constructing the AndSearchFilter with a set containing null should fail.

Research direction

Start by tracing how the generator handles the nonNullCollections flag for alias types, using the AndSearchFilter alias set example to reproduce the problem. Confirm the existing generated construction and validation path, then verify that constructing the alias with a null entry fails.
