The language spec says `In the class hierarchy there is a class named
Array, which has one instance variable, "length".' (Section 3.3.1 Array
Detail.)
I would have thought, therefore, that I could have a method that took
as a parameter an instance of any subclass of Array (e.g. any array
instance), and the method would be able to determine the length of the
array instance. But I can't seem to find the class Array. I thought it
would be in java.lang.Array, but it doesn't seem to be anywhere. Any hints?
I can code around it in my case by passing the length of the array
(rather than the array itself), but the spec should be fixed (or clarified).
