inline fun <K, V> nullableKeyValueMap(map: Map<out K, V>): Map<out K?, V?>
Turns a Map into a map with a nullable key and a nullable value type.
Intended to be used in conjunction with platform types
such as Map<Int!,
String!`>! or in other words, when you deal with Java and you want to turn a platform type into a
nullable type.
Basically it is a replacement for cast but without introducing one explicitly (we only give an additional hint to the
compiler that we expect a nullable type and not a non-nullable one). For instance, instead of writing
getPersons() as Map<String?, Person?>
you can write nullableKeyValueMap(getPersons())
