Description Stephan Herrmann

In a team class that imports a type foo.bar.Object a mysterious error
 "Cannot cast Class<T> to Object"
is reported against the team class (position is the class header).


Simple workaround until this is fixed: do not import any type of name "Object"
but always use its fully qualified name.

test & fix

The fix is to internally use the qualified name even for java.lang.Object
inside synthetic code (here: reflection methods).
