Hi David,
To provide a bit more context, the API was consciously designed to be
future-proofed against the possibility of Java supporting multiple
bounds here (JDK-4891872). As of yet, that change has not come to pass,
Okay so we want to keep the API. :)
I don't see us getting rid of this one :-)
and as you note may never come to pass. So besides in addition to the
links into the JLS, I think it is reasonable to include an API note
acknowledging the situation. How about:
This method supports the existence of multiple bounds, but to
date, a wildcard may have at most one upper/lower bound.
"to date" is just another form of "in the current version".
Sorry I find it hard to suggest suitable text when I don't think it
necessary to say anything.
Best to let others endorse this one.
Fair enough; thanks,
