Simple example:

? [].diverge(float64).__optUncall()
# value: [[], "diverge", []]

I expected the value to be instead [[], "diverge",
[float64]].

Demonstration of how this would affect a persistent
application:

? def flexList1 := [1, 2.0, 3].diverge(float64)
# value: [1.0, 2.0, 3.0].diverge()

? flexList1.push(4)
? flexList1
# value: [1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0].diverge()

? def flexList2 := E.call(E, "call",
flexList1.__optUncall())
# value: [1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0].diverge()

? flexList2.push(5)
? flexList2
# value: [1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5].diverge()

FlexMap has the same bug:

? ["a" => "b"].diverge(String, String).__optUncall()
# value: [["a" => "b"], "diverge", []]

- and some others:

? [1 => 2].diverge(int, int).__optUncall()
# problem: <ArrayStoreException>

? [1.0 => 2.0].diverge(float64, float64).__optUncall()
# problem: <ClassCastException: [D>
