Hi Jon,
first I'm really happy of these clean up,
I used to use the JDK source code as an example of well written code for 
my students,
so any improvements is great.

Also I agree with you, the proposed change above is not as important as
the changes Sasha is doing because it just improves the readability
not the type safety.
So it can be done later.

cheers,
Rémi
