This bug is being created based on feedback received via the website...
one typo in first paragraph below ("IIn"), plus the technical error reported below:

============

IIn the next variation, we refrain from creating an array object whose element type
is parameterized, but still use an array type with a parameterized element type. This is
legal, but generates an unchecked warning. Indeed, the code is unsafe, and eventually
an error occurs.


************************

Fixed in my version. Once I've corrected all known problems, we'll push out a new version on the web.
List<String>[] lsa = new List<?>[10]; // unchecked warning - this is unsafe!
Object o = lsa;
Object[] oa = (Object[]) o;
List<Integer> li = new ArrayList<Integer>();
li.add(new Integer(3));
oa[1] = li; // correct
String s = lsa[1].get(0); // run time error, but we were warned

However, this line

List<String>[] lsa = new List<?>[10]; // unchecked warning - this is unsafe!

generates a compiler error, not a warning.
