I don't believe so. Parameterized types / generics are needed in
languages which don't have dynamic typing, like C++, Ada, etc. If you
have an urge to use generics, then it seems there's already a solution
in Obj-C through dynamic typing. If you want to strongly type
something, then why use generics to begin with? Generics is a work
around for statically-typed languages, so not something a language
would want to add if it didn't have to. (Correct me if I'm mistaken.)
