// This checker adds nullability-related assumptions:
//
// 1. Methods annotated with _Nonnull
// which come from system headers actually return a non-null pointer.
//
// 2. NSDictionary key is non-null after the keyword subscript operation
// on read if and only if the resulting expression is non-null.
//
// 3. NSMutableDictionary index is non-null after a write operation.
