 This is another verifier bug with generics.

 We currently do not support AOTing of generics code.
 
 This will have to wait for later

+In that case, a reasonable error message should be delivered, stating
+that it is not supported. It could also be a good idea to document
+such a limitation in the man page alongside the --aot option.
+
+I believe that even if there's a good reason to fail, uncontrolled
+dying on SIGABRT is not NOTABUG.
