Don and I talked in-depth about using wildcards to do the style of conventions 
I am
talking about, and we found that it would require a much more complex
implementation of
wildcards. Don, can you add to that?

Why not focus on starting with conventions that are achievable with
the wildcards we already have, and then expand on the wilcard
capability best on actual experience, that *proves* a need for more
complexity.

I would also suggest that we only add more complexity grudgingly and
only when *required* to do so, not simply to placate an arbitrary
convention that happens, for no particular reason, to be popular.

Case is a good example. Outside of the JavaBean design patterns, I
believe Java itself is indifferent to case. If the language doesn't
care, why should we?
