Good point, if bad code, and I'll include that in the SSCCE I'm planning to make.

There is no meaning for "calling via" in the JLS of which I'm aware. I was trying to be clear only that I didn't mean via composition. Your corner case is interesting but outside of what I was trying to say.

It's a cute corner case. Of course it's bad form to downcast 'this' from a parent class to begin with.
