To confirm this you need to do the same check on every usage of added toArray([]), the simpler version like "return toArray()" or return toArray(new MenuElement[elements.size()]) is simpler, no need to check something. I guess in some previouse fixes it was confirmed that the "return toArray(new MenuElement[0])" is even faster.
