Review comment:
       Breaking the assumption that top-level rows can't be null would 
represent a huge amount of work afaiu. I've tried simply wrapping 
`CreateExternalRow` with a null check and a number of tests started failing as 
they were assuming top-level rows couldn't be null.
   Instead, updating `joinWith` seems more practical as we'd just want to 
handle what looks like a corner-case?
