Hi Oliver,

guess clirr is complaining because changing the parameter type of methods is not binary compatible:

Hi,

in CONFIGURATION-653 [1] it is proposed to change the type of some
method parameters of utility methods from Configuration to the base type
ImmutableConfiguration. This makes those methods broader in scope.

I would expect that this is a change which should not affect client
code. Nevertheless, clirr reports errors in these cases. I could imagine
that there was a risk to break clients that override one of these
methods. But they are static, so this should not be an issue.

Do I miss something?
