Hmm...
    toArray(new String[0])
    toArray(String[]::new)
not too much difference in syntax. Try to explain it to a newbie:)

I wish we could have something like this:

   interface Collection<E>
   {
        @SafeVarargs
        E[] array(E... array);
   }

    Collection<String> x = ...;
    x.array();

This works because an empty String[] is passed in as the arg.
