Problem Description:
If you call CLI.write() or CLI.writeln() with non-string arguments, you get the error message that the method is not found. It should instead say you can't call it with something that isn't a string. Or it should auto-convert it to a string.
Steps to Reproduce:
Call CLI.writeln( CLI.getArgs() )
Actual Result:
Error message: method writeln not found.
Expected Result:
Either:
Error message: string expected where array found (or something similar).
Or:
Automatic call to .toString() and output of whatever string representation the argument has (in this case "[LString;@abdc1234" or something similar).
Any Workarounds:
None.
