------------------------------------------------------------------
This patch uses type-erasure to allow the RedirectLocations objects to
implement both the 4.2 binary RedirectLocations interface AND implement
java.util.List. This allows the object to be cast to either a RedirectLocations
object (using the 4.2 interface) XOR cast to List<URI> interface. By using
type-erasure the two interfaces use different method signatures to allow the
two to co-exist while having the same method names, number of parameters, and
different return types.
This patch is binary compatible with 4.2, yet provides a convenient List<URI>
interface for 4.3.
