The more I read about the generics proposal for Java, the less I like it. What I see is a repeat of the C++ mess, where a seemingly simple addition to the laguage ends up being a pandoras box full of worms. And the benefits are almost non-existent! The type-safety argument is a red herring! I have almost never ever seen a bug caused by an orange in the apple basket!

Variance is not going in to Tiger. See the evaluation
in http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4856545.html
for what we expect to do instead.

Mate, if you this this variance feature is complicated, I want it removed immediately!
