> Although possible with SpecificData (schema generated classes), the
> ReflectData currently lacks a way to have a declaration such as
> {code}java.util.List<String> myList;{code} to be able to generate a nullable
> schema {code}{ "type": "array", "items": ["null", "string"] }{code} instead
> of the current {code}{ "type": "array", "items": "string" }{code}
> There are {{@Union}} and {{@Nullable}} annotations available, but they cannot
> be applied to the above parameterised Collection declaration.
