Another thread: What is the use case for having InsertStatement.get return T? ? The only use in the project that ought to use this functionality at all is fun <Key:Comparable<Key>, T: IdTable<Key>> T.insertIgnoreAndGetId.

It seems to me that it ought to be changed to T and instead define a InsertStatement.tryGet for the much rarer use so can avoid having !! just to retrieve a generated key.

Nullable columns could produce null on insert and that's not the 'null == value was absent from insert'

But since T isnt contrained to Any it would just be ie. Int? which would work. Or I am not understanding you correctly. I have submitted a pull request with the change and a test that shows retrieval of null values.
