Subject: Re: [pool] CursorableLinkedList - why does it use a mix of <T>,
 Object and <E> ?

The whole <E> convention comes from java.util where there are
"elements" of a collection. I don't like to mix things. I think type T
would be find everywhere unless you have multiple types and need a
memorable letter.
