Maybe this has to do with array's type parameter? I think it's part
of the array's type name, like ArrayFS<AnnotationFS>, or something like
that.
For me it looks like it is not possible to write ArrayFS<AnnotationFS>,
because the ArrayFS interface
does not define a type parameter, right?
For me it looks like that Type.isArray returns true for a type which has
a different
name then the array type names in this list. The isArray method seems to use
some low-level methods to figure out if a type is an array type or not.
Is it possible to define a new array type?
