Doesn't seem to work. The attached case fails in two different ways
depending on whether compatible is set or not. The JDK methods you can
use depends on where the code you are adding goes. In this case you're
adding code to a JDBC2 class, so you are restricted to JDK1.2 code. JDBC3
-> 1.4, JDBC3g -> 1.5, JDBC4 -> 1.6.

Right now you use objects if either dims > 1 or useObjects. I'm
suggesting that we should only use objects if useObjects. That way people
who want to get int[][] returned can get that via setting compatible=8.2.
