Erasure's not the end of the world, but it'd be nice to have access to the generic class without having to pass it in. Collection<Foo> values = ... Foo[] array = values.toArray(Foo[]::new); Not the worst, but not the best either. There are many situations where the code I implemented could have been far cleaner with reified generics.
