Casting the result of a generic method is ignored when inferring the value of any type parameters. Other uses of the return value appear to be fine. For example, the following code fails with an error: foo((Set<String>) Collections.emptySet()); Whereas this code is fine: Set<String> a = Collections.emptySet(); foo(a);
