What would help a lot more would be something like C's typedef for giving aliases to type expressions. It's understandable that Java didn't originally have a typedef, because all types had short enough names anyway. But generics changed that in a big way, and it baffles me that some form of typedef wasn't added soon afterwards. -- Greg
