Probably would be beneficial. I can file an issue for it in the Java bug
tracker. But there may be compatibility issues with making a change like

Well, they could have simply introduced Driver2 extends Driver for the new
methods, and checked instanceof Driver2 before calling them. Fully
compatible, simple, no need

java.lang.reflect.*). Too late.
