That is, I have a method that must take a Collection<?>, but I really want a Collection<Foo> or Collection<Bar>. I can check the type and then use recover(Foo.class) or recover(Bar.class). Collection<Foo> fooColl = coll.recover(Foo.class); I'm then free to pass this on to methods that require the correct type.
