3.1

The argument/local variable name suggestions for arrays include the plural of
the element type (e.g. 'numbers' for a 'Number[]'). I would ask for the same
functionality for parameterized subtypes of java.util.Collection. As element
name, the upper bound of the type parameter should be taken:

Example: suggest 'numbers' for 'java.util.List<Number>' or 'java.util.HashSet<?
extends Number>' (but not for 'List<? super Number>').
