Try the following, if Sather's compiler does not complain, then,
Sather's generic class is equivalent to Transframe's:
class MAIN is
main is
#OUT + "Hello World.\n";
ob :$OVER;
if (some_input_condition) ob := #CONCRETE{INT};
else ob = #P(STRING);
// at this point, we don't know the exact element type of ob
// type assurance must be used
assume (typeof(ob).ElementType is INT) ob.feature1(42);
end;

The concept of generic class in Sather is different than Transframe's.
