Autoboxing problem with Double and Boolean

[GoogleCodeExporter]

For some reason when something like:

    expect.that(1.1).closeTo(1.0, 0.11);

is written Java 5 does not box the double (1.1) to a Double object, but
instead matches the:

    <T extends Comparable<T>> ComparableChecker<T> that(T comparable);

declaration of 'that', as opposed to the:

    DoubleChecker that(Double d);

declaration of 'that'.

I've tried reordering the declarations in the interface so that the
DoubleChecker version of 'that' appears before the ComparableChecker<T>
version, but to no avail.

The only work around I know of is to write:

    expect.that(new Double(1.1)).closeTo(1.0, 0.11);

It's worth noting that Double implements Comparable<Double>.
