Multiple constraining classifiers in generic templates - compiler broken

Question

can not compile multiple constraining classifiers to a generic template if the classifier is defined in the template:
     public <U, T extends U> void a() {}
will compile.
java language specification: 4.4 Type Variables says:
     public <T extends Object & Comparable<? super T> > void a() {}
will compile, but:
     public static <U, T extends U & Comparable<? super T> > void a() {}
will not compile.
U is defined within the template but is only accepted as a constraining classifier to T if it is on its own. When the interface is added, the java compiler breaks.
(please ignore ">" as required.)
compile error message:
"a type variable may not be followed by other bounds"

thanks...You're wecome.
B.t.w. my guess it's not the compiler, though.+1
'select' isn't broken :-)I'll put that one in my bookmarks, next to The Ten Commandments
