Depends on the intentions. If you render it as a type, then it must be a
class-wide one. This is the reason why I believe that generics are
superfluous and could be gradually replaced by classes. This is also why I
want more static analysis, because that would allow to remove any overhead
in comparable [=static] cases.

Depends on the meaning of these. Normally this stuff comes with dynamic
typing, types inference, things I don't like to see in a language like Ada.
