Arrays.copyOf does not work with value type arrays

[David Simms]

Hi Tobias,

So this is a method handle issue, i.e. javac generates:

invokedynamic #29,  0             // InvokeDynamic #0:copyOf:([Ljava/lang/Object;I)[Ljava/lang/Object;

For call to "public static <T> T[] copyOf(T[] original, int newLength)".

This is something of a problem here. MVT array method handles return 
Object as the array.

So I'm not sure you can call Arrays.copyOf with "[QPoint" as you are 
doing here.

Furthermore, method handle JDK runtime support for Q types is incomplete.
