Thanks! :) I have no idea what you did with the generics though. I read an article about them, and thought I understood them.
Basically they are just statically checked casts, right? So what does it mean to write X implements Y<Z>? The tests are just leftovers from InMemory. I'm not doing TDD, but I rather see tests as a frozen REPL. I write code, test it in the REPL, if I find myself repeating pieces in the REPL, I make them into a test. I didn't get to the stage where I could even compile anything.
