[Checkers] Question about resolving type variables

Hi guys,
Currently, type variables are inferred from the actual arguments
passed if possible. Unfortunately, this may lead to unexpected
results, namely violating backward compatibility. Consider:
List<String> lst = Arrays.asList("1", "m", "n");
Currently, this will issue a type compatibility error, as the return
type of 'Arrays.asList(...)' is List<@Interned String> which is not a
subtype of List<String>.
How do you we should handle this case?
