You can't create a class in the IDE with the "[]" characters in the 
name, so you can't extend the "String[]" class.

"[]" in a class name is a bit special. "String[]" is a normal class, 
but, for example, "Collection[]" or "String[][]" is an array of a normal 
class. It's a normal class, except that it is automatically created at 
runtime the first time you use it.

So allowing "[]" in a class name may lead to some problems at the 
moment. I must think about that.

But you can use normal class name for inheriting "String[]", it should work.
