List.add() generated definition has wrong return type

[Chuck Liddell]

Just noticed the return type in the generated system List class has the wrong return type. It shows as “Object” but it should be “void”.

global class /*System.*/List implements Iterable
{
    // snip

    global Object add(Object element)
    {
    }

Hah! Looks like this is another one that's reported incorrectly by the tooling API's completions resource:

I have a way to massage those API results for a more accurate OST. I'll take care of this one for an upcoming build.

The only thing worse than no documentation is incorrect documentation. Thanks Tooling API!

Fix committed for inclusion in the next build.

Delivered in 2.1.8.9. OST regeneration will of course be required to see the effect.
