This surprised me:

? "" : List[String]
# value: ""

? "" : List[int]
# value: []

I was calling TreeItem.setText(str). When str is the empty string it
coerces to a list of strings and you get "Ambiguous overload on class
org.eclipse.swt.widgets.TableItem: setText(String) vs
setText(String[])".

Is this intentional?
