The comment was "The original code may be slightly incorrect (my understanding of java generics is not high)." And the response was "Me too. I don't like STL!" I do realize STL is built using generics. The Standard Template Library defines templates...but STL in and of itself isn't generics (meaning without STL there is still the notion of generics).
