Sounds good. I often wondered about using IntelliJ's "Generify"
refactor, too, but haven't tried it.

I'll go on record as saying that if doing a 'wholesale patch' is the
easiest way, I'm more than happy to do so. As an experiment I tried
using a combination of Eclipse's "infer generic type
arguments" (which is brilliant, but not perfect) and manual changes
(where Eclipse doesn't quite manage to nail it) and managed to get
~2000 'use of raw types' warnings throughout the Lucene trunk
codebase down to ~1000 in the space of an hour or so.
There's a little bit of manual tidy-up involved but it's something
I've done plenty of before (both internally and on external APIs,
which obviously require more care) -- but if you want someone to do
the gruntwork, well, just let me know when the 3.0-dev branch exists
and is ready for commits and I'll set aside a day and give it a crack.
Cheers,
Paul
