javac happily compiles the following class.
In some ways it appears to behave as if
(but not quite) Object implemented Serializable.
Maybe I'm just missing something and this is
correct behavior, but I can't find any justificatio
for it in either the Language spec or the Serialization
spec.

-------------------

import java.io.Serializable;

class Wendy {
  
  void f(Serializable s) { }

  void g() {
    Jerry[] j = new Jerry[1];
    f(j);
    Jerry xj = new Jerry();
    f(xj);
    Stratium[] s = new Stratium[2];
    f(s);
    Stratium xs = new Stratium();
    f((Serializable)xs) ;
    int i = 0;
    //f((Serializable)i);
  }
}

class Jerry implements Serializable { }

class Stratium { }
