If `returnNullable` is given false from caller, I think it means we do make
sure this `Invoke` won't return a null value, e.g., for a primitive type. And
it should be even `needNullCheck` is true.
Under this case (`returnNullable == false`), the only case this `Invoke`
returning null should be `targetObject` is nullable.
