Pushed a draft of what I wanted the tests to look like, gotta figure out the test fixture stuff too. |

Ok I kinda figured out how the tests are supposed to work. Just have to install jdk |

It seems OK to me.
@oroztocil please review

Why default(T) == null instead of typeof(T).IsGenericType && typeof(T).GetGenericTypeDefinition() == typeof(Nullable<>)?
GetGenericTypeDefinition is an intrinsic that will be folded by the compiler, see dotnet/runtime#103528.

typeof(T).IsGenericType && typeof(T).GetGenericTypeDefinition() == typeof(Nullable<>)
This seems like a better option to me

@hez2010 I didn't know about intrinsics and folding, and honestly still don't entirely understand it. I changed it to check for the generic type.

and honestly still don't entirely understand it
The git is able to detect that the expression will be constant for a given T and it's able to optimize it entirely when it generates the machine code for a given T. For example, if you have something like T = int, it's able to know that the condition will always evaluate to false and it can then use that information to simplify the check (and in this case, unconditionally select one branch or another))

JSInterop: Enable returning null for a nullable value type
Summary of the changes (Less than 80 chars)
Description
When a result value is null, and the return type is a nullable value type, Convert.ChangeType throws instead of returning the null value, so in case off null this now uses null directly.
Fixes #30366
