Is language support for collections is a coin feature ?

[Reinier Zwitserloot]

Because arrays are obsolete. Also, in the example I showed, you're actually
giving an AddressBuilder to .add(), not an Address. With methods, you could
accept either. This trick doesn't work so well with arrays. Same story if
generics are involved.
