strictNullChecks and the compiler's code

[nikeee]

Currently, the compiler seems to be compiled without the strictNullChecks flag. Is there any plan to update (parts of) the code base to compile with this flag?

I know there are some parts that require a large amount of rewirting just to satisfy this flag. However, some APIs could easily be changed. Are small, partial strictNullCheck-enhancements something that would be accepted for merges?

I'm currently looking at something like pasers#visitNode(s) and scanner.setText()

We're hoping to merge that PR quite soon

Thanks! I searched only the issues, not the PRs. The Issues are filled with stuff of strictNullChecks.
