This method changed signature between M4 and M5. In M5 the signature was
modified to be bind(SocketAddress ...), which is really
bind(SocketAddress[]) once the compiler gets through with it.
This was reported as a bug against M5, and unfortunately, the fix made for
M6 was to change it back to the M4 signature, of bind(SocketAddress).
Instead, the method should have been overloaded:
bind(SocketAddress addr) {
bind(new SocketAddress[]{addr});
}
bind(SocketAddress ... addr) {
... do real work ...
}
so that both pre-M5 and post-M5 code can link against the methods.
I don't carry a vote around here, but if I had one, I'd say -1 on M6 until
the method is overloaded and both signatures are supported.
