Right, one could use a raw type, which would induce, by default, a warning from javac, so maybe a warning is sufficient by default for the List<Point> case. > But the quality of language support will be "crappy ad-hoc" anyway, so, you > know, whatever works. I'm just happy to have a compiler at all! Indeed, it's liberating :-) Paul.
