@michaelandrepearce The fact is that what Node contains is "enforced" by
who use it and that is already generics (ie `LinkedListImpl`) and adding
generic to `Node' won't add any value to who declare it (ie
`PagedReferenceImpl`) indeed all the `Node` fields are hidden on purpose (for
perf reasons mainly).
I hope it will explain why I've chosen to "drop" this feature, but I agree
that could be cool to have it :)
