<p>For any confined type <code>C</code>, i.e., a type which is not compatible to <code>Object</code>, an array of <code>C</code> is not compatible to an array of <code>Object</code> nor to <code>Object</code> itself. This rule ensures that confinement cannot be bypassed by a sequence of compatible assignments and casts.

<h5>Upcoming:</h5>
Only by widening to a non-role super-type, a role instance can
be accessed from outside the team. In the future this can be inhibited by
restricted inheritance.
