It's not so much a question of whether the generic information of a 
class file (like java/util/ArrayList.class) is used or not, but rather
whether the generic information of a particular *use* of that class was
in the *using* code's class-file, which I think isn't:
  ... = new ArrayList<ArrayList<ArrayList<Boolean>>>();
