All Implemented Interfaces:

IBoxCaster

public class AssignableArrayCaster

implements IBoxCaster

I handle casting anything to a Array that needs to be assignable This means I reject - ImmutableLists - UnmodifiableLists I will ALLOW native Java arrays, because while their length is fixed, their indexes can be assigned.
