Work Description: tisonkun opened a new pull request, #951:
URL: https://github.com/apache/commons-lang/pull/951
This patch should be easy to understand.
Generally, it won't affect user cases as long as the type can be inferred by
the recipient or JDK rules. There's a case as shown in
`ReflectionDiffBuilder.java` that if the type inference results in ambiguity,
it may cause compile error.
Thus, I'm unsure whether this is proper to be included with a minor version
bump. I don't think adding another series of methods helps - it causes further
confusion.
This patch doesn't cause extra class cast exception because if the recipient
is `Object` the cast should always succeed. And if the recipient already cast
it into another type, there will be an exception if the cast cannot be
performed.
