RE: Generics bugs

In principle I support that idea, but you seemed to be more reluctant? I was hoping perhaps Andres would try a bit harder to convince you before I jumped on to implementing it :-) I'm not reluctant. Rather, I just don't know what the idea IS at the moment! The ticket doesn't provide a spec that is detailed enough for me to understand, nor a single example. If you (or anyone else) wants to work out the design, give examples etc, I'd be happy to review/comment.
