Method designator binds to a method returning T whereas return type T is specified (OTJLD 4.1(c))

			<T extends Specializable> T castAs(Class<T> type) <- replace T castAs(Class<T> type);
			callin <T extends Specializable> T castAs(Class<T> type) {
				return Education.this.castAs(type);
			}

Two other variations with the generic also fail to compile.
Complete sources to reproduce the problem can be found on this link

Other compilation errors:
The return type of implicitly inherited method Education.Specialist.castAs() is not compatible to the return type of explicitly inherited method Education.Specialist.castAs() (1.3.1(k)).

Thanks for the example. These are in fact variations of an
existing ticket:
https://trac.objectteams.org/ot/ticket/292

In fact, also the "base-call impossible" problem you reported
earlier seems to have the same root cause.

I've scheduled the ticket for the next milestone.

best,
Stephan
