You have found (one of many limitations) a limitation of generics. You'll find evidence of your best case scenario in places such as the source to java.util.ArrayList or net.tmorris.adt.set.MutableSet, which amounts to a compile-time warning (or alternatively, something other than an array without O(1) seek).
