Description

It is not possible to use the getArray methods in a type-safe way supporting arrays for primitives and non-primitives. They are completely superfluous on top of it, since the normal get() methods can simply support the array case in a type-safe manner:

{format:java}
String[] sArray = config.get(String[].class, "strings");
int[] intArray = config.get(int[].class, "ints");{format}

Therefore getArray should be deprecated and the implementation for get() should support the array case directly.
