When I have the following logic:


------------------------------------------------
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

public class Diamond {
    List<Integer> list = new ArrayList<>();
}
------------------------------------------------

I can put my cursor in the diamond <> and there's a quick fix being offered, called "Insert inferred type arguments", which is great, and leads to this code:

------------------------------------------------
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

public class Diamond {
    List<Integer> list = new ArrayList<Integer>();
}
------------------------------------------------

Unfortunately, the inverse is not available. In the above logic, I'd like to be offered an option to remove this type argument again.

This would be a bit easier to do with more complex generic types, such as e.g. new HashMap<String, Map<Object, List<?>>>();, when selecting the type is a bit tedious.
