classes, interfaces, dynamic arrays, ...) as "array of JLObject",
but instead as an array of the actual pointed-to type. The reason
for the previous behaviour was mainly that the JVM threadvar
implementation internally stores all threadvars that are
such double pointer types into an "array of JLObject". Type casting
this array to e.g. an "array of array of byte" causes an exception
even if it only contains "array of byte" instances (since the outer
array type is different). This is now solved by first taking the
element of the array and then typecasting it to the destination
type (so dynarrbyte(arr[0]) instead of pdynarrbyte(arr)^[0]).
The reason for the new (more accurate) behaviour is because the
old one caused type errors in case a double pointer field was
internally created for the nestedfpstruct support (see added
test)
