This looks good. This will prepare for the future when Java supports
multiple bounds.

Hello,
Addressing some feedback from off-list discussions with Mandy, I
propose changing the API notes to:
@apiNote While to date a wildcard may have at most one
upper[lower] bound, callers of this method should be written to
accommodate multiple bounds.
Thanks,

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, 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.
