Yeah - stuff like Box<int> is considered to be fully reified, as the 
specializer will turn it into a specialized Box${T=int} version where 
all references to the type-variables have been replaced with their 'I' 
counterparts. This means you can lift all restrictions that apply to 
reified types, such as no array creation, no instance of, unchecked cast 
only, no class literals.
