We no longer force canonical types in type closure. Still, for a hierarchy like this:

class MyRawBean extends MyBean
class MyBean<T> implements MyInterface
interface MyInterface extends MySuperInterface<Number>

we discover MySuperInterface<Number> as the bean type, not MySuperInterface.class

I know there was some oddity in JLS that suggested that the latter case is valid. Matus Abaffy can you remind me what it was / where exactly it is defined?
