   This patch should be easy to understand.
   
   Generally, it won't affect user cases as long as the type can be inferred by the recipient or JDK rules. There's a case as shown in `ReflectionDiffBuilder.java` that if the type inference results in ambiguity, it may cause compile error.
   
   Thus, I'm unsure whether this is proper to be included with a minor version bump. I don't think to add another series of methods helps - it causes further confusion.
