Incorporated code review comments from r1061.

Made nullSafe() an instance method instead of a static method.
Updated code javadoc to match Guava style.

-      public Foo read(JsonReader in) throws IOException {

-      }
-      public void write(JsonWriter out, Foo src) throws IOException {
-        // write src as JSON to out
-      }
-    )).create();

+   *     }
+   *     public void write(JsonWriter out, Foo src) throws IOException {
+   *       // write src as JSON to out
+   *     }
+   *   }.nullSafe()).create();
    * }</pre>
    * Note that we didn't need to check for nulls in our type adapter after we used nullSafe.
