+ * Generics
+   * Classes, interfaces and structs can all be generic--parameterized by type.
+   * These are identical to .NET generics as found in C# and VB.
+   * Examples: List<of int>, List<of String>, Dictionary<of String, int>
+   * The general form is: Name<of T, U, ...>
+   * You can declare your own
+   * You can overload by number of type arguments. In other words, Foo<of T> and Foo<of T, U> are two different types.
+   * Methods can be generic: def foo<of T>(a as T, b as T)
