Hi Georg:

As you can tell, the Array classes preceded java generics. I use them wherever 
I can, but I dont understand them deep enough to actually write classes that 
implement them.

So the short answer is i'd love to have you contribute to that. However, I 
would guess that it would be hard to make this backwards compatible (?) If so, 
I would have to think carefully about how/if we could do this, or if we would 
need to make a new version with a different API.

What do you think?

John
