+ * <p>If the repository does not allow a property to be declared as nullable
+ * because the underlying schema differs, it can be also annotated as {@link
+ * Independent}. This makes it easier for a common set of Storables to interact
+ * with schemas which are slightly different. Attempting to persist null into a
+ * property for which null is not allowed will likely result in a constraint
+ * exception.
