The current implementation of TypeUtils.isAssignableFrom(Type base, Type from) is too simplistic as it does not consider parameterized types.

Fixed in revision 1323.

Raw assignment is allowed if lhs is raw or has erased type parameters.
If lhs has type parameters rhs must have the same number of type parameters and each must be assignable to the corresponding lhs parameter.
