Function.identity returns different type?

[Timo Kinnunen]

Hi, 




What’s the deal here, how come the “asIf” version - same as “asIn” except the method “asGiven” inlined away - doesn’t compile?




  static <T> T asIn(T t) {    return asGiven(Function.identity(), t);  }

  static <T> T asIf(T t) {    return Function.identity().apply(t);  }

  static <S, T> T asGiven(Function<S, T> given, S s) {    return given.apply(s);  }




The compile error I get is:

error: incompatible types: Object cannot be converted to T




But there’s no mention Object in the code…
