35 * {@code <T extends Number & Runnable>} is an (implicit) intersection
36 * type.  This is represented by an {@code IntersectionType} with
37 * {@code Number} and {@code Runnable} as its bounds.

39 * @implNote In the reference implementation an {@code
40 * IntersectionType} is used to model the explicit target type of a
41 * cast expression.
