The "C-way-of-thinking" is regularly criticized here, but
interestingly, the "Java-way-of-thinkng" doesn't seem to be much
better... ;-)
My answer to the above question: Java people added generics and (more
or less) typesafe collections for a reason - their initial idea of
storing anything in a single collection didn't please even themselves.
This should be a hint that maybe Ada (and C++ for that matter) got it
right already, so why trying to work around it?
