I would be curious to see how such a class would actually help you. I have to admit that a big part of my curiosity is due to the fact that I don't understand how it really would help. It could be, as you say, beautiful but useful is sometimes are more difficult goal with these things.
I would also like to see if you are able to express enough interesting structure in the Java type system so as to be useful. So please do create a prototype. It will be very interesting to see it. 2011/10/3 Sébastien Brisard <sebastien.bris...@m4x.org> > OK, I could go on, but honestly Phil, I think I won't be able to > convince you.
