Thanks a lot for your keen eyes James!

(sigh!) Why would Optional.of()  throw a NPE for null?
But it does...

This wasn't caught by the test because remove() usually
follows a purge() and every call to purge() is synchronized,
so I don't think it could happen, technically - except possibly
for the call purge(KnownLevel). But you're right and the code
is wrong, of course.

ofNullable() it is!
