Good catch. I should emphasize that the current taming database as
posted is just a small shade better than meaningless, however; it
consists of little more than everything from String (which I included
without looking it over very carefully, primarily to test the
infrastructure).
I'll make sure to keep this in mind when I do a more careful and
thorough job of taming java.lang for the safej ("real") version of the
taming database.
