Ah, this is why I never see these kind of issues. He subclassed a list just to modify the list to return lowercased output always, preventing any method of ever accessing the original multi case text.

At any rate, all of the java 6/7 code I've ever had has ported to java 8 without any changes. Assumed it was the normal experience.

In my case in 500,000 lines of code or so it was the only example. Nothing like the stuff I found in a different job going from 4 to 5! The enum keyword was painful! and then we found class names in the database instantiated at runtime with reflection once the migration was "finished". Some programmers are mean to those who come after.
