IMO toes does not belong in lang. It's too much like the bean validation framework. It has potential to leak into a giant pile of methods with support for all doors of objects and data types.
Providing what java 7 has in Objects should be the limit, more or less.

The goal is to introduce: Validate.isFalse() Validate.largerThan() // isLargerThan() ?? Validate.smallerThan() // isSmallerThan() ?? The isFalse() is just the natural counterpart to isTrue(), much like JUnit added assertFalse(). The other two methods are slightly neater ways of expressing "x >= y" or "x <= y" type constraints. Without these, one either writes: Validate.isTrue(x >= y); or Validate.inclusiveBetween(y, Long.MAX_VALUE, x); Neither of which is as concise as it could be.
