See you at JVMLS

[Brian Goetz]

I'll sidestep your clever question by pointing out that the left operand 
of an instanceof check is an expression, not a type.

If you have:

     Foo<any> f = ...

     if (f instanceof Bar) { ... }

this works just fine, because all instantiations of Foo<T> are 
represented by classes whose supertype is Bar.  The harder question is 
the reflective one (Class.isAssignableFrom.)  But reflection is still a 
work in progress (as is the whole thing, of course.)
