Compile errors on hasSize

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'm using the latest from trunk and the following line does not compile in 
eclipse:

ArrayList<String> arrayList = new ArrayList<String>();
assertThat(arrayList, hasSize(3))

the error reported is:
The method assertThat(T, Matcher<? super T>) in the type MatcherAssert is not 
applicable for the arguments 
(ArrayList<String>, Matcher<Collection<Object>>)

Which means that I've to now do this instead:
Matcher<Collection<String>> sizeMatcher = hasSize(3);
assertThat(arrayList, sizeMatcher);

I hit this too and commented here...

dev/browse_thread/thread/2d1e196c06d8dad7/90c7958113b9aa69#90c7958113b9aa69

A fix I found was to replace this... 

  <T> Matcher<Collection<T>> hasSize(int i) { 

with this 

  <T> Matcher<Collection<? extends T>> hasSize(int i) { 

which fixes these kinds of errors

Here's a patch which fixes this issue - along with a related fix to the 
generator so that we generate methods 
correctly (including Something.<T>hasSize()) to avoid further compile errors

Here's an extra patch that adds a test case showing the hasSize() methods now 
work with Object, String and ? 
element types.

We should also switch other collection related methods to use this mechanism 
too I'd have thought
