Description

Sometimes, it is helpful to know that if a routine returns non-null, then some 
other expression is non-null as well.  There is a @AssertNonNullIfNonNull 
annotation to represent this, but it is not implemented -- it is neither 
checked nor used.  This issue is a request to implement it.
