Exactly, however, it would have been equally lopsided if I'd written it. I'd certainly agree that generic functions make static analysis almost impossible for large or complex code. I actually gave up on trying to figure out how the expose decorator works. I can only imagine the reaction of someone who doesn't have a sound architecture background. > Generics can be very useful, but so far in TG I haven't seen a case in > which the cure is better than the disease. My thoughts precisely. It's like templates in C++. They can be REALLY handy, but they can be quickly abused. I think there's evidence of generic function abuse in TG. -- Jeff Watkins http://newburyportion.com/ "Daddy, I want a purple iMac.
