Before I go too far in writing new stuff, I think we should clarify the 
JVM target for this.  The Blueprint spec outlines a couple of optional 
features for for implementations that run on Java5 and above that use 
generics.  The bulk of the features will run fine on a 1.4.2 JVM 
version.  Are we agreed that the target for this is a full 
implementation (which will require a Java 5 JVM to execute)?  The answer 
to this determines whether generics can be used in the internal code as 
well.
