I have occasion to deal with a lot of "clever" code that fakes OOP using generic packages, i.e. where each instantiation is an object and generic object parameters serve as initializers, and the executable sizes are *tremendous* (presumably the compiler duplicates the code for every subprogram for every instantiation).  As a general rule, I stick to type parameters.
