Inference: define supertype parameterization for wildcard-parameterized types

XMLWordPrintable

      Reduction of subtyping constraints (ArrayList<?> <: List<? super alpha>) invokes capture in javac, leading to incorrect constraints on ivars involving capture vars; these new types also foil the argument that incorporation will terminate.

      The correct behavior is unspecified: what is the parameterization of List that is a supertype of ArrayList<?>? How do we derive it?
