The HitRegionOptions dictionary has (some) nullable members to allow the 
"missing" value to also be represented as null (as distinct from the empty 
string). For 'id', the missing value is represented by the empty string, 
so it's not nullable. For 'cursor', the missing value is not distinguished 
from the value 'inherit', so it's not nullable either. As you point out, 
all the values are optional; the reason to make something nullable is just 
to allow the "null" value, not to make it optional.
