…7303)

* Fix issue with untagged variants and object when null is one case.

Fixes #7289

The check emitted for case `Object` was simply `type of ... === "object"`, though that is insufficient when the variant has one case corresponding to `null`.
Now we check if such a variant case exists, and emit `... != null` in addition.

* Add test example.
