	I'd agree.  However, my original point was that my version that uses 
generics is still significantly less verbose than the version without. 
I think much of the overhead is that Java simply doesn't do as much type 
inference for you.  Scala can do much better still because it has 
first-class functions and algebraic data types ("case classes").
