code review request for 7011095, revert diamond changes in method args

[Stuart Marks]

Hi all,

This is a followup to the diamond conversion I did for 6880112, reviewed here a 
few weeks ago [1].

That conversion applied the diamond operator in variable initializers, 
assignment statements, return statements, and in method arguments. For 
stylistic reasons we've decided that using diamond in method args isn't 
necessarily a good idea. The type inference for method args can be quite 
subtle, and since the diamond operator is supposed to improve brevity and 
clarity, using it in method args seems counterproductive.

Given this, we've decided to pull out the usage of diamond from the places that 
it was added by 6880112. Here's the webrev:
