Description
It appears that a statement like this
val Map<String, String> some = new HashMap<>();
cause a compilation warning
"ERROR:<> cannot be resolved."
Can the '<>' operator be supported ?
Thanks,
Amit

Research direction
Reproduce the reported declaration val Map<String, String> some = new HashMap<>(); and inspect where the constructor call is parsed or reported as <> cannot be resolved. Determine the existing handling for generic constructor calls; done means this statement compiles without the warning and related behavior is covered by tests.
