I was bitten once by the dubious implementation of toArray(),
get an ArrayStoreException while tying to store an Object in the 
resulting array.

as a matter of style, i prefer to always have curly braces after an 'if'
and i think that the cast to (Class<T[]>) is no longer needed
(and false if one day generics are fully reified because the right type 
is Class<? extends T[]>).

cheers,
