wanted to swap in more generics, would a 3.0 app be able to drop in
the 3.1 Lucene jar w/o problems?
It should, because in the compiled JVM code, generics do simply not
appear.
Ahhhh, right. So I think this means we can safely, over time, swap in
generics for these APIs w/o going through our normal back
compatibility steps (deprecate old, rename to new, etc.). Even say in
the 3.1 release (a minor release) we can swap in generics for APIs.
Great!
