There's already a bug on this, with some discussion:

http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6571613

The discussion revolves around how this interacts with type inference, and it 
mentions that "Smarter type inference may appear in JDK7." I know there have 
been type inference changes but I don't know how they would affect this case. 
Worth pursuing, anyway.
