  GIN assumes that indexable operators are strict.  This
  means that extractValue will not be called at all on a NULL
  item value (instead, a placeholder index entry is created automatically),
  and extractQuery will not be called on a NULL query
  value either (instead, the query is presumed to be unsatisfiable).  Note
  however that NULL key values contained within a non-null composite item
  or query value are supported.
