At least the algorithm has been overhauled such that the new features do not
impact if they are not used. The algorithm has been broken into phases such
that phase 1 performs the old algorithm, then subsequent phases  repeat the
old algorithm after applying boxing/unboxing, varargs and generics etc.

Regardless this is not something I would want to hand code using the
reflection API as Robert must do.
