Summary: Generic type errors ignored in interactions window

Initial Comment:
The interactions window accepts generic code with type errors 
without complaining.  Example:

> import java.util.*
> import java.awt.*
> ArrayList<String> s = new ArrayList<String>()
> s.add("abc")
true
> s.add(17)
true
> s.add(new Rectangle())
true
> s
[abc, 17, java.awt.Rectangle[x=0,y=0,width=0,height=0]]
> s.size()
3

This is a problem if we want to use the interactions window to try 
things out and find out what is correct Java code.

Observed using Java 1.5 (er, 5.0 or whatever it is) on both Windows 
XP SP2 (Java 1.5_04) and OS X 10.4 (latest update).  This is using 
the latest beta (20050806-2057).
