I still think that instead of debugging this spec and making sure that it
behaves similarly to `asType`
it would be better to keep delegating to the implied `asType` and allow it not
to throw IAE for too many parameters.
I actually prefer the explicit approach here, rather than re-purposing asType
and by extension asVarargsCollector (“as if by asType but …”), but i do take
your point (IIRC) that the specification of asVarargsCollector could duplicate
some common specification text.
Yes, I guess duplicating the text would help to avoid inconsistencies.
Should I file an RFE (P5?) for synchronizing the texts of invokeWithArguments,
asVaragsCollector and possibly asType?
Yes please, that would be useful. If you could suggest appropriate text even
better :-)
It might be best to add a section to the package html that can be linked to.
Done - https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8186830
Specific text is too hard at this time though :) - I'm not sure what
would be the best way to approach the refactoring, i.e. which part goes
where.
I added some thoughts to the comments though.
Thanks,
Stas
