Hi Roland,

Thanks for looking at this.

What do you mean by "filter nulls early"? The check at method entry? In this case we don't have a
null check at method entry because we are compiling a lambda form and the arg type is
java.lang.Object. We then need to emit a null check when inlining the linkTo call and casting the
arg to a value type.

This is the null check for value type arguments at method entry.

Thanks,
Tobias
