loadLibrary as of v4.4.0 currently looks like this:

{code}
public static T loadLibrary(String name, Class interfaceClass, Map<String, ?> options) {
if (!Library.class.isAssignableFrom(interfaceClass)) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Interface (" + interfaceClass.getSimpleName() + ")"
+ " of library=" + name + " does not extend " + Library.class.getSimpleName());
}
{code}

This allows code to compile but then throws an error at runtime, which is trappy. We hit this when we had a library defined as:

{code}
public interface Kernel32Custom extends WinNT
{code}

WinNT did extend Library in v4.0.0 but does not in v4.4.0.

Instead, the signature should just take <T extends Library>.

{code}
public static T loadLibrary(String name, Class interfaceClass, Map<String, ?> options) {
{code}

Then this change would have shown up as a compile-time error, making it possible to catch the issue much sooner.
