Ah I see - thanks.
Okay well the bug is still open. I think the original intent was to
change toArray() to match this, but I think it's far too late to change
that behaviour now. So the only "fix" is to delete that sentence from
the javadoc.
Were you looking for an actual change in the implementation?
Note this is just my opinion on this, I'm not a decision maker here :)
Cheers,
David
