Re: Generics Question

You know the features that generics bring to the table, but you're
thinking in terms of end results, i.e. observable program actions, and
you can see that interfaces (or ever System.Object) can do the same
thing. But the trouble is, that isn't what generics are about - they
aren't about enabling new kinds of end results, to the exclusion of
other possible implementations. They're all about static typing. Plain
and simple.

I understand (and have understood that) Barry. I do not misunderstand the
concepts. Perhaps I wasn't clear enough in my question. My questions have
been about the observable results, not the purpose or under the hood
benefits of generics. I am asking for academic reasons.
