Description

I copied code from julia base, in particular the test code, and then just replaced Nullable with NAable etc. That clearly is derived work in a copyright sense, but I'm not entirely sure what the proper way to handle this is. Maybe just add all the people that show up in a git blame in the original julia file as copyright holders?
