I do not know what JLS has to say about this, but the following code compiles by
javac 1.5 but not by cheetah. Error mesage is "Incompatible conditional operand
types C1 and C2"

--------------------------
package test.cheetah;
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class Test {
    private static class C1 extends ArrayList {
    }
    private static class C2 extends ArrayList {
    }
    ArrayList method(boolean param) {
        return param? new C1(): new C2();
    }
}
--------------------------

Note that javac 1.4.2 does not compile this code (error message "incompatible
types for ?: neither is a subtype of the other").
