During a discussion about goals for Ivy 2.5, I mentioned generics [1]. I was looking into the matter because I was investigating how IvyDE hooks into Ivy and I didn't quite like what I saw. I'd like to generify Ivy as much as possible for 2.5 (staying binary compatible, of course) so that decisions for the next release could be more informed.
Should you agree, I'd finish the work with two more commits (one for core and one for plugins package) -- I pushed two commits already that ended up in PR #45. Now, I'll digress, but I believe it's worth mentioning. Apart from generics, there's one last thing I'd like to have in Ivy 2.5, and that's SVG in Ivy reports. I only heard one opinion (which was positive) about the non-limbless ant in vectorised Ivy logo, and no protests, so I take it as a silent approval :-) BTW I hope asciidoc can inline SVG in HTML, although some repeating icons would better be placed in CSS (as mentioned in comments to PR #39).
