Clearly this is the behavior, so it's just the language that is imprecise, i.e. "identical" is used in at least two senses, maybe three, not just one. Also: "Two array types are considered identical only if the element type is identical." Why does this sentence exist? What is it trying to tell me?

And is a GenericArrayType an "array type"?

Should ArrayList[] be assignable to ArrayList<Integer>[]?

If you think it's unclear, feel free to propose better wording in CDI. > They're using GH issues now - https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/cdi Thanks. Laird
