Overriding Java method with varargs under -Yexplicit-nulls compiler error

[pweisenburger]

Hi, given the following code that overrides a Java method under -Yexplicit-nulls:

class MyPrintStream extends java.io.PrintStream(??? : java.io.OutputStream):
  override def printf(format: String | Null, args: Array[? <: Object | Null])
  : java.io.PrintStream | Null = ???

The compiler produces the following error message:

Name clash between defined and inherited member:
def printf(x$0: String | Null, x$1: Array[? <: Object | Null])
  : java.io.PrintStream | Null in class PrintStream and
override def printf(format: String | Null, args: Array[? <: Object | Null])
  : java.io.PrintStream | Null in class MyPrintStream
have the same type after erasure.

It should not be an error that both methods have the same type since one is supposed to override the other.

As @smarter noted on Gitter, this might be a confusion between varargs and Array arguments.

Tested with Scala 3.0.2 and 3.1.1-RC1-bin-20210907-a47a81a-NIGHTLY
