 * This shows some bad template resolution.
 * It gives this error, but javac compiles it succesfully and it looks like it 
should be valid.
 * The method doSomethingElse(BadTemplateResolution.Z<V1,V2>, 
BadTemplateResolution.Z<V1,V2>) in the type BadTemplateResolution is not 
applicable for the arguments 
(BadTemplateResolution.Z<BadTemplateResolution.X<BadTemplateResolution.W,BadTemp
