New candidate JEP: 429: Extent-Local Variables (Incubator)

[Remi Forax]

Hi all,
not a big deal but some methods do not have the correct signature, as usual there are some wildcards missing.

ExtentLocal.where() with a callable should be
  <T, U> U ExtentLocal.where(ExtentLocal<T> key, T value, Callable<? extends U> op)

likewise in ExtentLocal.Carrier
  <R> R call(Callable<? extends R> op)
  <R> R callOrElse(Callable<? extends R> op, Function<? super Exception,? extends R> handler)

and nitpicking, because ExtentLocal.Carrier is a final class, there is no need to declare all its methods final, which change nothing in term of semantics but those final appear in the javadoc which is a kind of ugly.

regards, 
Rémi
