Yeah - this is where Anders shines. Generics were brought in primarily to avoid boxing/unboxing costs of value types, but really are incredibly powerful when used properly. And I'll say that generics in C#/.NET are done very well. Every time I use Java, I want to use generics until I remember Java's generics are confusing and almost useless. I really miss having them when doing work in other languages, even with some of the covariance gotchas, they're just amazingly good.
