code changed :)

Suppose you have a code like this
private void foo(ArrayList<CharSequence> list) {
   ...
   filterMap<CharSequence>(list, ...);
   ...
}

and then you change the callsite and now it sends an ArrayList of String,
I think it's better to just change the signature of foo to 
foo(ArrayList<String> list)
or foo(ArrayList<? extends CharSequence> list).

There is also another thing which is that the method signature offers 
you free documentation,
by example, bar(Collection<? extends T>, Filter<? super T>), here I know 
that the collection
taken as parameter is unlikely* to change.
