I miss Pascal "type" block definitions (or C typedefs, at least) when I have to work with too many Java generics. I know, [Turbo] Pascal (etc) never had generics. But if they had, you would have been able to make a type with a generic expression, rather than a constantly repeated inline monstrosity of an expression.
