Hello Guido;

Coming from the Objective-C mindset they do seem really rather annoying, but I find after some months of playing with them that they are actually helpful in order to know what is inside otherwise unstructured collections. I have also, in implementing generics, identified a couple of "invisible" bugs in some caching code which was quite neat and this showed me how generics can actually be helpful to identify problems too. So I've come to a point where I think they're actually quite handy despite the extra work they create.

cheers.

Maybe I'm just too spoiled from Objective-C.
