Description

Blueprint should only check constuctor and method arguments depending on their class the way the JVM works at runtime.

At runtime there is no difference between:
setSomething(List);
and
setSomething(List<String>);

Furthermore Java prevents having both methods above declared in the same class (same applies if List were List<Object>). A List is a List no matter the generic type. The generic type checking is made at compilation time. Blueprint is not a compiler

Please add a flag to enforce or not the generic type checking!
