Generic interfaces? Isn't that mitigating the aspect of interfaces? I
mean: if you have an instance of Class<T>, and pass
that to some code and inside that code you don't know the type of T (this can
happen), you can refer to the instance of Class<T>
with the interface, so your code will become very simple. If you have generic
interfaces as well, the problem remains and you have
to at some point need to know the type of T to get things compiled.
This especially creates problems when T has to be of some type, so
where clauses have to be added to the method. With an
interface you can solve this problem. so I always use the rule of thumb: use
interfaces to use generic classes in code where you
don't know the generic parameter type, and thus keep your interfaces
non-generic just for this purpose.
