Resolution: Fixed
I've removed the comment and the corresponding code. The core test cases still
go through. I do not really understand what the code and comment were there
for, though. If anybody has any issues with my changes, let me know.
As I recall, there is code in the framework for assigning values to
features which tests if the CAS type being assigned to
a particular feature is subsumed by the range type of the feature.
This code was to make that test work in the case where the range type
was recorded as a "subtype" of an FSArray, because the user specified in
the XML for the feature that the elements of the FSArray were of a
particular type, say "Foo".
With this removed, what was happening before was that the subsumes test
would fail, because the type being assigned to the feature whose range
was Foo[] was just a plain FSArray, since there was no support to create
actual instances of Foo[].
I'm surprised no tests have failed. Did something else change?
