JDK-4858556 - generics+variance: arrays as bounds
Description
With variant generics, this:

    String[][] a = new String[1][2];

gives an "unsafe" warning.  Can we adjust the type system to allow this
without a diagnostic?
Comments
EVALUATION Variance has been abandoned. Not an issue unless we ever reinstate it for arrays (unlikely). ###@###.### 2004-06-03
