c.toArray might (incorrectly) not return Object[] (see 6260652)

I'm confused. The bug states:

     The Collection documentation claims that

         collection.toArray()

     is "identical in function" to

         collection.toArray(new Object[0]);

but I checked the Collection documentation back to 1.4.2 and it doesn't 
say anything like that as far as I can see.

But as far as I can tell from the code the implementation is unchanged. 
toArray() will "clone" the internal array and so if you really want 
Object[] you have use toArray(someObjectArray)
