If the subprogram is always needed, I opt for the generic way. There are some advantages:
- no access - don't need to worry about a possible null or bad access
- performance: if the subprogram is at the centre of an algorithm, it can be inlined and further optimized within the part of the program where the call is occurring. Of course the absence of access check and indirect call may help a bit.
