Probably not; we would not be able to call the new method with a "double[]"
argument. Wherever such a call occurs, we would have to create a "Double[]"
and copy over the contents, which seems a lot of operations just for the
sake of a precondition test.
Where do you want to use the new method?
Anyway, if this method is needed within CM, the obvious possibility is to
create it (and, unfortunately, almost duplicate the other one).

Same here. Better create a new exception that will directly inherit from
"MathIllegalArgumentException" (instead of "MathIllegalNumberException").
[I also don't get what are the arguments.]
