Take a look at the numerous languages that have pattern matching (Haskell,
SML, OCaml, Erlang, Mercury, Prolog, Clean, Hope ...) and then explain to
me just what you're talking about. I'll give you a hint: if you say
generics to someone who thinks Ada and say generics to someone who thinks
Common Lisp or Dylan they will be thinking different things. You're
thinking about an almost altogether different thing.
