What do you mean by this? How is using Object breaking the generated 
code? Seems to me you have just widened the type of a variable storing 
an expression - that ought to work; the only problem here is user 
expectations: if the user is expecting to pass this to a method 
accepting a CharSequence he/she will be disappointed. But how big of a 
problem is this? And, as I pointed out elsewhere, no general solution 
exists for this.
