Eclipse reports no name clash with equivalent bridge methods. The bridge method
equalTo(Object) cannot be:
    public boolean equalTo(String other) {
        return equalTo((String)other);
    }
, nor:
    public boolean equalTo(Integer other) {
        return equalTo((Integer)other);
    }
.

--------------------------------------------------
interface Equivalent<T> {
	boolean equalTo(T other);
}

interface EqualityComparable<T> {
	boolean equalTo(T other);
}

class SomeClass implements Equivalent<String>, EqualityComparable<Integer> {
// javac says:
// name clash: equalTo(T) in trying.Equivalent<java.lang.String> and equalTo(T)
// in pack.EqualityComparable<java.lang.Integer> have the same erasure, yet
// neither overrides the other
	public boolean equalTo(String other) {
		return true;
	}
	public boolean equalTo(Integer other) {
		return true;
	}
}
