Object matcher preserves null

[larsga]

As pointed out in issue 308, while other operations filter out null values from objects, the:

{
  * : .
}

syntax does not. Should it?

If it should, what about {...} + {...}?

We need to figure out what the correct rule is here. Input welcome.

why is preserving null not made as an optional parameter when generating the transformed data? forgive me if it is already answered else where, couldn't find it

[larsga]

It kind of is, in the sense that you can set the object filter.

I missed that one, thanks.

Do all other operations respect the filter? I had mixed results and could not figure why until i found this issue, so consistent behavior would be my preference. My only option now is to remove the filter.
