This instanceof check is not necessary as it will always evaluate to true.

I'd say this should be something like:
allowAnyValue can only be set to true if a String mapper is used.
However, I do not know if that even is better so maybe we could wait for other opinions too.

As we have the map, I think we should use it instead of resorting to generic casts.

@DerEchtePilz when I use the mapper it will give me a list of nulls. The only way I've found that works is to directly cast the string to T.

Well, that sounds like a bug to me that should get fixed. I am currently not available to test anything related to the ListArgument but using the mapper should most definitely not result in null values.

I'm not sure if it's a bug but maybe just a design flaw. The mapper value only works if the input is in the suggestions list.
That part might not be compatible with what we're trying to accomplish so that's why we made allowAnyValue only valid with strings since we need to cast the string input to T.

In this section I think we should mention that the allowAnyValue option only works for Strings.
Added a new option: allowAnyValue
This allows me to use ListArgumentBuilder for complex tab suggestions and simply passing all input so I can do my own validation.
