Description
Currently the JavaCall layer does not deal with type parameters at all, primarily due to the fact that they are erased at runtime by the JVM. However, in some scenarios, it may be useful to make information about type parameters available to the Julia layer.
What form this support should take is unclear at the moment.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the JavaCall layer and the related discussion in issue #11, then determine what generic type-parameter information could be exposed to the Julia layer despite JVM erasure. Done means agreeing on the support's form and documenting or implementing that defined behavior.
