Problem with C# nullable reference types

Hi ;)

GhostDoc can't handle Properties that need to be initialized with null due to the new nullable reference types.

Example:
 public class MyClass
    {

        /// <summary>
        /// Gets or sets the test.
        /// </summary>
        /// <value>
        /// The test.
        /// </value>
        public Object Test { get; set; }

        /// <summary>
        /// Gets or sets the test nullable.
        /// </summary>
        /// <value>
        /// The test nullable.
        /// </value>
        public Object TestNullable { get; set; } //= null!;

        /// <summary>
        /// Gets or sets the test nullable2.
        /// </summary>
        /// <value>
        /// The test nullable2.
        /// </value>
        public Object TestNullable2 { get; set; } = null!;

        public Object TestNullable3 { get; set; } = null!;

        public Object? TestNullable4 { get; set; } = null!;


    }
The "document this" function doesn't work after the first null "= null!;" initialization.
This null initialization is, unfortunately, necessary to prevent warnings when working with entity framework core.
For more info see the Microsoft Docs: > ef core with nullable reference types

Here is the log entry:
