You can change that by casting null to Number. see https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se7/html/jls-15.html#jls-15.12.2.5

Yes, I know this. 

The question is why `Test$DC.setFoo(java.lang.Number)`  is set as default setter, while the default call goes to `Test$AC.setFoo()`? Is this documented, or is there specification? I see that no tests exist for this, so it's not clear what is the expected behaviour.
