 There has been a lot of breakage introduced into java.util due to merging of the
 classpath collections code, which stresses the compiler wrt inner classes. This
 is the reason I was holding off merging in the collections stuff, but somebody
 else seems to have gone and done it anyway, unfortunately.
 
 PRs 291 and 300 are definitely exposed by collections code - there are probably
 other issues as well.
